Subject:      Fwd: Some Questions about the ECU Chip Upgrades- Answered....
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

I have not added the chip yet. I wanted to add the modifications to my engine before the chip to see if I would need the chip. After running the modifications for 26,000 miles, while they run good, I think that the chip will enhance what Ihave done. I think that On a stock engine, unless the chip changes your current driving habits, there should not be a change for the worse in mileage. The engine will still be running at the correct ratio, but will be able to run better. I have raised my mileage from 18 mph to @25 mpg on flat to moderately hilly @75 mph while increasing my power. In the engine, I changed only the cam to a slightly bigger lift and duration increase and added ratio rockers. The rest is basically stock. I have been in email contact with the designer of the chip and thay have been using it in their delivery vanagon for about 6 years now with no troubles.
