What elements does a chip usually change to handle more boost?

I know there are posible dangers with running a pulley with no chip, but what about the other way around? Can you safely run a chip burned for a pulley without the pulley in place? I realize the performance would not be optimal, but scheduling of mod installations may force it.

there are probably a dozen parameters for what a burned chip accomplishes. The most important deal with fuel delivery and avoiding detonation- more boost= more fuel. As to your question, if you install a chip with no pulley, youll definitely be safer than the other way around.

 

running a chip that is tuned for a pulley won't be harmful to the truck in the way that running a pulley with no chip could be.

 

your chip can control almost everything.

you can control when your intercooler pump turns on. your a/f mixture, timing, transmission settings, aww man there is SO much the chip can control.

 

Thanks for the quick replies Guys!!

I was thinking that the chip without a pulley would be safe, but I wanted some reassurrance from the group.

I've got a JDM Superchip and I know the file code. Can JDM tell what the exactly the chips has been burned for from that? Is there any way to 'read' the chip?

I posted a question about this a litle while back and got some good info from others running a '39' code but some responses left me with questions about the whole package on the chip.

The file code is '39CAE2F' and I was told that the chip was tuned for a 6# pulley, CAI, catback and Valve body.

I have enough time on any given weekend to complete one of the three mods I have available to me: pulley, chip, plugs

I figured the 'safest' order would be chip, plugs, pulley.

Any thoughts?

i wold do the plugs first, then the chip, then the pulley.

Yes JDM can read the chip.
