Default SteveW chip...

Hey Vu,

How'd that wheel paint work out? Get thes BBS's on your wife's bimmer all fixed up?

Back to the topic...

I put a SteveW chip in my '86 about 3 months ago. And MarcA just put one in his 3.2-engined '77.

We're both very happy, but I must say Marc's light car + SSI exhaust really flies. Marc's has a pronounce bump in zing as you cross 4500 rpm. Mine does something similar, but with my heavy car and stock heat exchangers, it isn't quite as impressive. It does run much smoother throughout the rev range and has a rock-solid idle.

One thing to consider is that the SteveW chip seems to be less tolerant of a marginal O2 sensor (than my old Autothority chip). I'm running in open-loop mode (O2 sensor disconnected), for now.

One more thing... SteveW is happy to tailor the chip to your mods and the quality of gas you use.
