Banks Ottomind chip question

I just removed a Banks Ottomind chip from my 96. Can this chip be reflashed by TW or any other uses for this chip?

Also will I get better mileage with this chip as it is or without (stock configuration)? I'm sure it has a very old program since it hasn't been removed since it was installed around 97.

i doubt it. banks probably put something in it to prevent you from doing anything different than the crap that he put on there.

The only way to find out about reprogramming would be to ask them, but i have to say X2 on the doubt part- that's an old chip. Mileage, maybe a little, but nothing like a newer tune would get you.

A call to TW would tell you. Chances are slim though
