hey fellas,

im new to this site and am amazed at how much it already helped me out. i'm wondering what you think about the various performance chips they have on ebay...i have a 2000 GT and going through ebay for exmple http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/88-95...ayphotohosting

things like these. do they shorten engine life...do they do anything at all. any suggestions or products that you can offer. whats your view on these? thanks

this was another one that i see constantly..any views?

 

well I honestly don't know if they really work.. but at 24.99$... I wouldn't even waste my time ordering one. It's probably a rip off a really cheap upgrade where they say it will add 20rwhp when in fact it doesn't do ****...

But maybe someone here knows more about chips than I do...

 

Here we go again....

They're cheap resistors that you can get at Radio Shack for 2 bucks. They just make your car run way too rich. You'll disintegrate your cats and waste $ on gas....

Try a search for "ebay chip". This has been laughed at for years.....

 

Radio Shack? Screw that! I'm ordering an SCT Livewire at the end of the week- I say, stick with the name brands, ya know, the ones that are famous for working well, and you can't go too wrong. Stay away from the cheap stuff- it will probably hurt your ride a lot more than help it.

 

if you want a real chip for your gt, you need to look at some real sites (other than e-bay), a lot of the mustang forums sponsor sites have chips....different brands...sct makes a chip, diablo makes a chip , jet makes chips, and several others. they are all about the same price ($220 - $275)they are actual computer chips that plug into your computer wich is located on your passenger side kick panel (they dont install under the engine to some sensor like e-bay chips), just do some searching and reading, and im sure you'll find the best chip for you. ofcourse there are also tuners wich carry many advantages over chips, but its if you want to spend the extra few hundred dollars.
