460 hypertech chip compatibility
I have a 95 efi 460 5speed, and have a chance to get a chip from a 92 efi 460 with an auto trans.
Will the chip work on the newer truck.
I looked on the hypertech website and the part number is the same, but I have so many of these trucks and the underhood stuff is all the same, just different transmissions.
i have 88 w/c6, 89 w/5spd, 92 w/auto, 95 w/auto, and 95 w/5spd
they all look exactly alike under the hood

You can accomplish the same thing by advancing the base timing a few degrees for free. It's been proven many times the aftermarket "performance chips" do nothing to improve performance or mileage on this vintage Ford trucks. If your truck is not experiencing spark knock (ping) under a load now then try advancing the base timing 1-2 degrees then try it again. Keep adding another 1-2 until you do hear spark knock, then back the base timing back down by 1-2 degrees.

I don't know about chips and 460s but on my 87-88 mustangs with sd, the chip was a world of difference. Granted it was a different application but same theory. Maybe the 460 trucks are about as optimized as they need to be.
Only reason I was thinking about the off the shelf chip is because it's 75 bucks and I bought the banks headers and exhaust kit for te truck and wanted something a little extra to tweak the truck. Although banks claimed something like 40hp and 90 tq with the whole setup but we will see soon.
Maybe I'll add some 30 or 42lb injectors and go get it dynotuned.

Does anyone know if the chip from a 92 460 will work on a 95
I probly won't buy it but I'm still curious.

No it will not work. the reason it will not work is because it did NOTHING on the 92 so it will do nothing on the 95 The chips,tuners and what not for OBDI and SD do NOTHING other than advance the timing. I just took the chip out of my 94 lightning(installed by previous owner) and threw it in the GARBAGE where it belongs

Chips
I put a HyperTech chip in my 89 S-10 jimmy and I gaurantee it did more than advance the timing. I've been tuning my own stuff for 40 years, and advancing the timing is the first thing I'll do on a newly aquired vehicle. I know the difference.
When I got my 93 F-250 I was bummed that HyperTech didn't make a chip for it but just found SLR doe's, and I will be trying it soon, and for half the price. I have seen people advertise"chips" that are nothing more than a resistor that tricks you motor into running richer.
If it don't work, send it back.
If all it is ,is a resistor it probably didn't cost enough to call the company, just throw it away.

If the truck has an electronically controlled transmission there is the potential the chip could alter shift patterns or push shift points to higher rpms, but I don't know of any products available for these trucks that have that capability.
As for the Ford motors they really can't be forced to produce more power(without a blower or N2O that is) because it's not the electronics holding it back it's the design of the engine itself. Ford exhaust systems are notoriously restrictive, the heads flow poorly, and the cams are badly undersized for all those handicaps. These are the parts that have to be changed to make these motors perform.
