i was thinkin about gettin a chip for my 93 sho mtx. but superchips doesnt make on for the sho either does hypertec. any suggestions on what kind i should get

You need a Ted B. Chip/LPM. Ted B. has custom programs for specific mods. I think this email addr is stil valid: [email protected]

Both Superchips and Hypertech make chips for the SHO, Ive had both.

But TedB would be trhe way to go or the TwEECer .

 

[josh m kuhn]

do you guys think that a chip will really help my performance, its completely stock, and want to modify alittle. also do you think it is worth the money

 

[PROPHET]

If you have an ATX a TedB chip suppost to help the shifting quite a bit.

In my honest opinion, the best place to invest your money on a SHO is suspension, and a y-pipe, but again if it's an ATX the stock y-pipe is fine.

I don't feel modifying a car is a good investment that's just, as resale value sucks on these cars.

So a little money invested in maintenance is where it's at, but if you must modify stick to the suspension as it will satisfy your needs, as modifying the engine for more power is an bottomless pit.

I think one of the best mods for the buck are subframe connectors. They make the car feel like it was carved out of a block of billet steel. Should be well under $200 installed. LPM's haven't proved to give you power (SHO Shop dyno'ed thiers and show no power increase alone), but it will make your car feel more responsive, mine did, but the downside for me was that the car would ping to death on anything less than 91 octane and ran the best with octane booster. The main reason for this is that the timing gets advanced much faster than stock (equivalent to recurving the distributor in the old days)

So Bob, you got the broken tranny, premium fuel chip?

 

[jedhead]

Yup. The second one I have destroyed. I am still looking for a puller with small enough fingers to pull the destroyed bearings off the Quaife and the bearing off the stock diff so I can get the speedo gear that I destroyed. I may have to go to a machine shop to have that done. The priemium fuel trip is partly my fault. When Vadim tuned the engine for max power on the dyno I had 5 gallons of 100 octane Unocal mixed with standard 92 Octane premium. Now premium is 91 Octane and the engine has another 70k. I haven't had the chnace to see if the newly reburned LPM for my stage one cams since I blew the tranny again.
