It's good to know that someone is compiling data then publishing updates.
This is a lot better than everyone doing their own thing & possibly trashing
engines.

I used to modify & then go play with Chrysler 2.2 liter turbo & turboII
engines. The turboII in my 1989 Lebaron GTC Turbo Coupe put out 174 HP from
the factory - with modifications to exhaust, timing and turbo boost I was
able to produce 224 HP, a lot for a 134 Cu. In. engine, but I had to run 92
octane or better gas. The engine held up fine but the cross member that the
side motor mount was bolted to could not take the torque and it twisted
apart after about a month of playing.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Those of us with the Bostig conversions have the SCT to change the ECU
programming when Jim comes up with a different or better program.

It is an aftermarket device that allows reprogramming of certain ECUs and
monitoring/logging of engine operating parameters, over an OBDII port.

The "reflasher" part refers to uploading a new program into the ECU.
