Opinions on Speed Chip Upgrades

is it BS?
is it possible that it could damage the stock parts?
opinions?

I don't deem them worth while.

All they do is advance the timing and usually increase the fuel injector pulse width.

You get better performance but a reduction in fuel economy.

less MPG then I assume

less mpg and for chips like jet to work, you must be or be realy close to wide open throttle

the verdict is in. I'm not driving my Zcar anymore....
thumbs down

Actually the MPG remains about the same, maybe even a slight increase BUT most chips are designed to be used with 93 octane so any gain would be eat up by the extra 20 cents per gallon.

lol 20 cents extra for 93, geez blazee, i was considering a move to florida, but it seams to suck down there, no offence to you or ne one else, your prices are outragious!

Gas isn't that bad compared to other places, right now where I get gas it is:

$1.86......87
$1.96......89
$2.06......93

Other places are as high as:

$1.97.....87
$2.07.....89
$2.17.....93

It will go down some when all the damn yankees leave.

well g, thats good for you i guess... damn feds

Stop complaining guys, you have it easy.

I pay US$2.72/gallon here for REGULAR in Canada.

You guys have it very easy, enjoy it.

I'm not complaining....there was a guy on here not to long ago from somewhere in Europe that said he was paying $4 or $5 per gallon

normally it runs about 1.75 here in west Texas

this turned into a thread about how much for a gallon of gas, i might as well join. north jersey. 175 regular, 185 super, 195 premiuim

$1.959 for ethanol here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. $.02 more for regular. Premium hurts just to look at.

$1.86 for regular, $1.90 for mid grade and $1.96 for super here in So. Il. Not to bad by comparison.The prices would be cheaper if one guy didn't own 8 out of the 10 gas stations in town.

$1.89 here in pittsburgh for regular, $3.85 a gallon for Blueflame 115 octane...:) (couple of stations here carry it). Useless unless you're running a motor that can burn that hot...:D

2 stroke dirt bike ;)

I just saw on the news that gas prices nation wide will be going up 24 cents.

I bought a Duramax silverado thinking that diesel was the way to go..now gas in Wisconsin is 2.04 for reg and 2.21 for diesel....!!

I am keeping my blazer as it still gets 20 mpg....we need to tap Alaska !!

We could just tell Bush that Canada had WMDs, and after he blows it up we can take their gas. :)

.....just kidding BlazerLT we like having Canada as a neighbor.

Damn! 20mpg? Is that highway in warm weather? Have you done anything to improve your fuel economy?

if i drive nice in the summer my 4.3 gets about 20, 23 to 24 if its a highway trip

Well I have wires with 159,000 miles on them, (probably should change them one day) Sparkplugs are platinums with 59,000 miles on them, I have cleaned the EGR pintle, new gasket, PCV valve, new clean air filter, ran two bottles of AMSOIL performance Improver through and that smoothed the idle out...new tires, aligment, fresh tranny fluid, Castrol GTX, AC-Delco filter every 3K.

The motor is 100% stock with OEM parts I have made no modifications, figure the computer is set optimally so if it aint broke I don't fix it.

My driving is 40 miles each way to work, and I am on the freeway 99% of the time with the cruise on...it's winter and suspect things will improve when it warms up...but I am happy with her and will keep running it....

1.99 for reg 2.10 for mi and 2.20 for prem in colorado i heard it's expected to reach 3.00 here that sucks
