just ordered the single program chip. anyone else share the experience and the difference that this thing makes? i know it will give about 40hp...but well i be chirping in 2ond all over? I HOPE SO!

alsp..would it be adviseable to remove it before taking to servie? is it easily detectable?

thanks for all your help

 

Word of friendly advice. Go find a dyno with a air/fuel meter and make sure your Air/Fuel is dialed in properly.

I had to send my diablo chip for my old 99 L back 3 times and then dyno 3 times before I learned my lesson on dealing with a certain vendor and ebay'd the chip...

 

DO WHAT LOGIN SAID !
I KNOW FIRST HAND ABOUT IT.
Yes, its going to kick *** but at what expense.
Get it right befor you install it.

 

The problem with off the shelf chips is they aren't tuned to the quirks of YOUR truck. You should be fine, but just keep a sharp ear out for detonation, and definitely get an accurate A/F reading to make sure you're safe.

You'll get a big (read- very noticeable) kick out of how much a good chip changes these trucks

 

Sent me a street programmed "off-the-shelf" chip that runs 16:1 through 3200 at WOT and then drops straight to 9:1 through 5500rpm is what I got for my money...

Then, send it back, and it comes back 16:1 through 3200 and off-the-scale rich through 5500rpm.

Then, send it back and it comes back to do the same thing again.

Just for grins I install a buddies PSP chip and the everything responds as it should... So it wasn't anything specific to just my truck.

Just an moronic program 3 times in a row...

...but hey, that was just my experience with one particular lightning vendor, not everyone's... Take it for whatever it's worth...

Personally, if I decide to chip my new '02, it'd be a PSP or JDM chip...
