Performance chip?? Help?
k i have hear you guys say chips will help fuel milage and horsepower.
now thats great any everything but do i have to change anythng when i install a chip i have hear that installing a chip in stock chevs with out upgrading the transmission cooler will take your tranny out will that happen on a ford? what else could or would go wrong?
i found a chip for a 1995 f-150 5.0L will it work for a 1993 5.0L?
take a look at this and tell me if this seems ligit cause i always thought chips were expensive like 200+ not 30 buck. http://cgi.ebay.ca/REAL-PERFORMANCE-...1%7C240%3A1318
Thanks for the help

You have to upgrade to 93 octane gas with most of them unless specified. And I would think the computers are the same. And I haven't heard of having to upgrade anything on ours. But I'm not an expert.

Here are a few of the benefits you may experience:
• Up to 70+ Horsepower and Up to 70+ Ft. Lbs of Torque!
• Up to 22+ MPG Fuel Savings - Beat The High Gas Prices!
• Improved & Smoother Low, Mid & Top End Acceleration & Power
That seems like a load to me
But I would think it would tie into the existing wiring and intercept the mappings and load its own. Instead of the programmers that reprogram your computer. But that's just my opinion.

$300-400? I don't think there are a lot of options for our trucks - Dixie posted in a thread recently about getting a chip custom tuned. Maybe he'll come back on with that info again.
