Tuners? Chips????
I checked the sticky threads and did not see this so here I go.....
What EXACTLY does a chip/tuner do?? I wan to make a wise decision before I decide to invest into one. How do they work? Can they mess up your engine?? You know the goods guys let me in on the trade secrets of the "tuner/chip" world

RE: Tuners? Chips????
Pending on which tuner you get, depends on what it does to the car. For example. With diablo sport you can set the timing, a/f ratio, etc to what you want. Where as with the Superchips/Hypertech tuner it is set to whatever the tuner company set the timing, a/f ratio and its automatically in the tune that you can not adjust. Diablo/SCT Tuner are very good ways to tune your car and diagnostic troubleshooting.
If you have an automatic car you can firm up shifts, change tire size to correct speedo, change gear ratio to correct speedo, turn off rear 02 sensors for o/r mid pipes so you dont have to buy MIL eliminators.
Hope this makes sense.

so if i bought a tuner for my automatic, i could firm up my shifts and not need to buy a shift kit? or is a shift kit even better yet?

Both are great mods to do to your automatic to make it go a lil faster.
