Re-install factory chip

I am getting ready to order a Diablo chip. The benefits sound extremely impressive. If for some reason I want to take it all back to factory spec, can I just plug in the factory chip and the system will revert back?

I will probably never want to do this but just want the piece of mind.

Re-install factory chip

The diablo chip (all *Ford* chips) plug into the factory computer. The chip then over-rides the factory programming with the "performance" program. To go back to the factory programming, all you do is remove the chip.

Be sure to have the battery disconnected when you are doing all this. :-)
