with and without the chip
Well, after hearing several opinions on the superchip, I had some free time this afternoon and did my own test. I ran from a rolling start approx. 7 mph to 60 mph with and without the chip. My time without was 7.89 and with was 7.59. I did this with a stopwatch so it's not 100% accurate, but I think it's close. It was a cool 88 degrees here in South Louisiana. I really think I could feel the difference with the chip. Do these times sound good or bad for the mods I have?

I have a three set of pulleys, and it isa 2wd. I really feel the difference with the chip especially on the low end and during normal driving as well, but when I tested it yesterday the increase in shifting and acceleration was present

Hi Mikey,
That's a clear indication that the Superchip is working just fine, knocking 3 tenths off your rolling-start acceleration times. You're right, using a stopwatch isn't *precisely* accurate, but if you do it "right", it's usually close enough to at least let you know that you're going quicker with the Superchip than without it, and that's all you need to confirm your seat-of-the-pants feel.
