Does anyone have any recommendations on which ones are the best? I've looked at Performance Chips Direct & Horsepower Chips. Let me know your thoughts on these.

Thanks.

Spend as much time as you want, but why search for junk?

 

I have the edge evolution comes with a mounting pod tha fits to your dash it has 3 preprogram levels and options to alter many parametters also scan tool for engine troubles check them out on the net I love mine .

 

don't get a chip. prior to 1996 & OBD-II, you had to chip your PCM to get performance goodies for your EFI vehicle.

1997+ vehicles use the OBD-II system and handheld programmers to change the PCM parameters.



most performance chips are nothing but a resistor in some fancy packaging. the resistor changes the voltage from the IAT to the PCM. This tells the PCM the motor/air charge is still cold and the motor dumps more gas to heat things up.


Get an Edge/Gryphon/SCT/Diablo. They are all reputable companies.

 

off topic but kinda interesting, had a 1995 thunderbird 4.6, it was OBDII, wierd huh? also it had a.... superchips performance chip that plugged into the computer!

 

like 819jack the edge evolution is the way to go. it not only makes the trans way better but it makes the whole truck so much more fun. it is one of the best mods ive done!!!!!

 

1996 was the cut-off year for OBD-II. starting in 1996 all vehicles are/were federally mandated to run OBD-II...just like all 2007+ vehicles must now have the tire pressure crap (TPMS)

prior to that, most companies used the OBD-I system. The higher end cars had OBD-II though since they usually had more complex fuel managment systems and OBD-I sucks some major behind.


Yeah, I had a buddy running a F-350 diesel who had one of those Superchip chips. Those things are legit. But if you roam around eBay, you'll see a bunch of sellers with "Performance Chips"...and they aren't the same

 

yea like you said they're just a resistor, should see what one of those do to a 93 Taurus GL!!! Hillarious

 

the tire pressure units are a pain can i turn them off due to aftermarket wheels

 

I dont think so, pretty sure that's a no, and also quite controvercial in another thread

 

yeah i read the thread about lazy people not checking tire press, i paid alot off $ for my tires and check them alot because i dont plan on new tires for a while

 

yea, its not that hard to check. but i dont think they can be turned off

 

usafguy how is the 5.4 treating you mine to be honest is a b***h but has fair power and sounds bad ***!! how many miles?

 

Thanks for the tip. I thought the chip sounded too good to be true. I'm going to research the Edge Evolution and see what I think.

Thanks.
