Has anyone had any dealings with autochipsdirect,is it worth the time and money.To tell the truth im low on funds to have a set of tunes from the reputable companies on this site.Thanks for your input. Keith

 

With regards to “Chips” and “Tuners”, years ago it was the best that most could do to enhance the ignition timing, fuel curve, transmission shift points, etc. It was (and still is) very important that a person verifies that the “Tuner” is ASE certified in both ECM and Transmission programming and IMHO be have current certification by the OEM whose vehicle you want to modify. There are plenty of persons who advertise their programs to be the best and even offer custom tunes, but in all reality, very few actually have credentials in these areas- but that’s not to say that some of these “geniuses” haven’t really caused damage to a few vehicles- just jump over to flatratetech.com and read just some of the comments from the MSE techs!. Perhaps what is equally important is the parameters that can be adjusted are set by the OEM vehicle software…so there is really no “magic” in what they are doing anyway.

I would really not chance anything like that. IMHO, save your $.....if you live near any major city there are excellent tuning specialists with dynos who for the same price as the more expensive "buy a tune", they will tune your vehicle taking into consideration your specific needs including environmental conditions, for your specific vehicle. IMHO, the best bang for the buck!

 

Junk. Garbage. Snake oil. They are charging you 60 bucks for a $1 resistor pack to fool the MAF calibration.

 

Use that and you might be walking......

 

so you are too low on funds to get a proper tune, yet you're not low enough on funds to replace the motor

 

Thank you very much, i like my truck way too much to try that stuff.
