Thoughts on Performance Chips

What do you all think of them? Anyone know do they even work? Whats the best one for the taco? Any tips or recommendations are appreciated!

 

Personally I've never used them, would I ?? Sure if they achieved what I wanted, everything is controlled now by ECM anyway so I'd think re-chipping or re flashing the onboard for adding a slightly tweeked performance curve (change settings for injectors fuel duration/advancing of ignition/cam timing/etc

I don't really know about which chip is best...

 

Nevrr heard of anything good coming from chipping a taco.

 

Those advertised Chips on the Intardweb are useless. To get a Tune for your car you need a Tuning shop that takes into consideration what mods you have, year and what programming number is in your ECM. These people have masters Degrees in Automotive Engineering and they stand behind their work. I know because I have a Tune in my 06 Mustang GT. It also requires you to purchase a Tuner, so you can go back to stock if your state has a Sniffer/ ECU Inspection. If you are Racing or Pro Off-roading then go this direction. If you use it as a Truck with little to no off-roading, Run Far, Run Fast from any Chip.

 

when it comes to gassers don't waste the money on an over the counter chip. Like mentioned the best route is to find someone who can do custom/dyno tuning, but even then on a N/A gasser gains will be minimal with just tuning. Its not like diesels where you can gain a hundred or two ponies just by dumpin fuel at it.

 

They dont really work well on tacomas
