RE: where is the chip at?
no the problem is it wont program back to stock.. and i cant put in a performance tune in either.. so if the chip were to be fried what am i lookin at? would i have to replace the entire computer? or what? i just bought the car a month or so ago.. and the guy said he hade a chip put in.. so im not sure.. i have been trying to contact the guy to see what exactly was done to it..

Have you or have you not physically taken off the passenger side kick panel and looked to see if there is a chip or not? That's what I'd do.

RE: where is the chip at?
just figured it out.. i took the computer out and there was asuper chip in the side of it.. so i removed it and now it took the tune and everything.. only one question.. if i took the stock tune out with a chip in the computer does that mean when i use a performance program its gona double the timing and everything? casue im afraid that it took the modded tune as stock and then modded that tune.. any one know for sure?

hey I'm having problems uploading the original back-up tune into the predator, do you think that there is a chip or another performance tune that is preventing me from uploading the original back-up? BTW sorry to jack the thread.

a chip is easy to take out.... just take out the kick panel.. loosen the couple screws holding on the computer... and look at the top of it (whats facing up) and see whats sticking out of it.. if a chip is or not...

hmm i wasnt sure, maybe the fronts are normal width, and the rears like 10.5s or something.. those rear tires look a little to beefy to be stock width at least, and his mods only make me think that they arent.
