Just received the PSP chip for my 2000. Install was quick and simple. 85 degrees outside on the way to work this morning. It was well worth the wait! I absolutely cannot believe how much different this truck feels. Here are my assesments after my first drive:

Much stronger acceleration throughout powerband.

1-2 and 2-3 shifts very solid and firm.

Shift point appears to be 5500-5600 rpm (haven't been watching tach closely as I'm focusing on the roadway)

No more "thud" noise and bog at the shift point due to 4 injectors shutting down.

At shift points very strong accelearation.

Better throttle response.

Boost appears to come on faster.

And the best part!!--No more dreaded 25-30 mile per hour downshift only to 2nd gear. Several times today at 40 mph constant speed, I nailed it and it kicked down into 1st. What an incredible driveability performance difference.


Very, very pleased with the chip and filter combo--thanks Sal.

Was it a flip chip ?? Or Single program chip ?? When did you order it ??

Doug,
It is a single profile temporary chip. Sal will replace with the multiple profile once he obtains those chips from his vendor. It took about 6 weeks.

 

Pete,
Glad to see your pleased, I keep e mailing Sal but still have not received an answer.
How did you order it with Sal, did you wait for him to get in touch

 

PATIENCE: I am also on the wait list!

 

My SuperChip in Drag Racing ONLY mode does not incoporate torque converter lockup, what does that mean ? How does it help you drag race ?
Help anyone.

 

nick d,

I ordered it directly from his website.

The way I looked at the chip and filter was very simple: I looked at all the numerous posts, saw that Sals typically had a long lead-time and never a negative post about performance/quality, but I saw many posts of other chips sending them back and forth for recalibration. Well, I'd rather wait several weeks, plug it in and have it work the first time. The small wait is negligible compared to the time frame you will enjoy you L with the chip and filter. Be patient---it is well worth the wait.

 

Hi Guys,
I have got to get in touch with Sal. I have mulled over this, thought, and done more thinking. I am ready to purchase the Chip & Filter Charger kit as soon as he gives me an ok. I will post in the vendor section, and give him an e-mail.

 

Met, you can order the chip now. I don't think he has a hold on those orders. That way you'll have a place in line while you wait.

Thanks 4D THNDR,
Nevermind though. *sigh*. Read the "Polo Shirt" topic, and you will see why I said nevermind. *grrr*...

 

Peter..... glad to see that you like the new chip. I was wondering how the chip performed under normal conditions. IE starting-idle-traffic-etc. I know the power and shift points were important but just wondering if there was any neg trade off. Your thoughts please. Don
