Title: pick a chip....
Post by: jakeb on August 06, 2006, 07:45:49 AM

I am looking to get an upgraded chip/eprom for mty m42.  I have read good things about the mark d chip but wondering what others are running.

I am really looking for that extra rev limit.

Also with a different chip has anyone seen a change in econ?  Other than pushing it harder now.

This car is my DD and I really like the fact I can get 33+ mpg on the highway....and if I baby it around town 25ish

But I also autocross the car and would like a little extra from it.

tia,
jake
