Aftermarket Chips

[Black Stallion]

Wanted to kno if there are any aftermarket chips available to put in the SHO, or is it even worth putting one in?

Chips Avalible:
Jet Chips
Superchips
Hypertech
And i think that there is a SCT tuner from FPS avalible as well... not too sure though.
I have heard a few good reviews for the Hypertech. But the Superchip is a bad choice allthogether. Have yet to hear any one use a JEt Chip.

Im thinking of getting a Hypertech.

But for a couple hundred more you can get Tweecer. Thats were its ALL at. However you will need to get a Lap top... thats why im sticking to the Hypertech.

Don't go Superchip. She has or I mean HAD one in her car til this weekend and I am driving next to barrier and I hear the engine "pinging". We only run 92/93 oct in our SHO's mind you. I yanked it out and drive the car. You know what? No noticeable performance difference with the exception of NO "pinging". It was bad- sounded like marbles inside the engine. TwEECer all the way baby.

you know you can pick older slow laptops on e bay for like $150-$200
that will work fine for use with a tweecer!

Really..Ive got a 1.7 GHz, 20 gig HD, 256 mb ram, an old office used laptop, WITH windows XP on it already, For a crack over 300.

Older laptops are cheap as can be

Look on ebay!

You don't even need a laptop with that fast of a cpu speed. I believe it can be much lower. If you would use the laptop for the tweecer only, I'm sure you could get one to do the job for maybe around $100. Ebay would be a good place to look.

I was just about to ask that.... about the processor speed. I was looking at tweecers site, and read that it just needs a USB port and atleast WIN98 SE....

I was looking at this little buggar.

For future archival reference, an SCT tuner (like the X-Cal 1 or X-Cal 2) will not work on an EEC-IV vehicle like the '89-'95 V6 SHO - these handheld, flashable units are only compatible with certain EEC-V-equipped vehicles from '96-up. For "older" EEC-IV vehicles like the '89-'95 V6 SHO, one must resort to an aftermarket "piggyback" chip that attaches tself to the J3 diagnostic port on the back of the computer.

Also, keep in mind that, at the time of this writing, none of the chips listed above (including the newer SCT chips/tuners sold by Doug Lewis) can afford you the level of access that is possible with either a TwEECer or one of my soon-coming LPMs.
