Title: cpu chip Post by: fiero1 on August 26, 2002, 11:58:03 pm my 85 GT has 162k on it @ maybe next year after i replace my cracked exhaust manifold im thinking of installing a chip at this millage im wondering if it's worth the many to do it
Title: Re:cpu chip Post by: FieroBUZZ on August 27, 2002, 06:47:55 am I have not read or heard anywhere of an aftermarket chip that provides a noticeable improvement. (ass-o-meter rating). Maybe on an auto, a bit.
I think any money for mods should go to 'real' work. Shift kit, shorty headers. bored out TB, good perf valve work, rebuild, and so on. I think anyone who says a chip radically improves a 2.8 has also done other things which may account for most of (if any) change. Just my opinion. Title: Re:cpu chip Post by: fiero1 on August 27, 2002, 07:45:27 am Thanks for the info i set a budget aside for this car every summer so far or i should say i try so i thought for now the cheapest way was a chip but if im going to go ahead and modify this engine i'll wait @ have it rebuilt at the same time but right now it's running well not burning oil or loosing any as far as i can see my 4spd. tranny is only 3 months old with new clutch so i think for this year i'll close the books @ plan for next year..........
Title: Re:cpu chip Post by: FieroDough on August 27, 2002, 10:07:20 am here is a thought,
you can get: 4.X Cadilac Engine $800.00 + $50.00 mounts 3800SC Engine $2400 + $100 flywheel Seat of your pants feeling = priceless :P The cost of improoving a 2.8 to perform to the specs of theise engines is more expensive than theise engines. So get one of theise and improove from there. :) cheers!
