Was looking over the idea of installing a chip/tuner on my 3.8 and was told that if i run on say stage 2 that i will need to run on supreme fuel. Also, is it a good idea to chip my car considering it has almost 67k miles?

 

That's the beauty of using a flash tuner. Both DiabloSport, and SCT give you 3 levels of tune. One each for low, mid, and premium grade gas. PLUS, you can "adjust" the tune as you see fit. Ie: adding a few degrees of advance, changing the rev limiter, adjusting the air/fuel..etc. And it's a sinch to change the tune. And even easier to install the tune the first time. No digging up the ECM, and popping the chip out, taking a chance of zapping the new chip with static..

 

I want to go with diablo. Well is it that stage 1 is low grade fuel, stage 2 is midgrade, and stage 3 is premium?? And what do you think about tuning the 3.8 with 67k miles on it..i need it to be reliable for atleast 2 or 3 more years.
Thanks.

 

HELL YES! I had 52K on mine when I sold her, and had no probs with the tune. And I tweaked the heck outa the tune. At the time they only offered the premium tune. And yes, 1 is reg, 2 mid, and 3 premo. Trust me, the permagrin factor is priceless. [8D]

 

I mean right now the car has 67k miles on it. Would it be safe programming it now, with 67k++ miles.

 

YES! No prob at all. Now days, 67,000 is barely broken in on an engine.

 

Awesome. Im lookin to hopefully run against some WRX's and just MAYBE stock SRT4s.

 

Umm...don't count on beating them LOL. BUT, I did beat an EVO VIII autosrossing one day...4 times. LOL women drivers...shhhhhh

 

will it be safe with 67,000 miles though!?
