The Steve Wong Experience

[jpahemi]

About a 16 months ago I purchased a chip fom SW for my 3.2.
Prior to shipping, Steve and I discussed the engine mods and he came up with a suitable application. A week or so later the chip arrived together with instructions on how to modify the DME to accept a 4K chip. The 4K chip allows the tuner more map points in both fuel and ignition maps.
The chip was installed and the car ran great. At the same time I had replaced the plugs with a gap of 0.9 mm. Thinking more is better, I figured the .9 gap would create a huge spark; WRONG!
Well, the gap created a wonderful break-up @ 6000 rpm; rocket scientist that I am, I contacted Steve stating the car was pinging. In less than a week another chip arrived with a reduction in timing for that rpm range. The break up still occurred, but less frequently. At this point Steve had a feeling it was something else and asked if I could get some AFR readings, either from a dyno or LM1.
Being a bit on the frugal side (cheap) I held off on both requests.
Occaisionally during a 6-8 month period I would contact Steve and try to figure out what was causing this break up; Steve politely asked: "do you have any AFR readings?"
Well, I didn't.
Guys, Steve's an amazingly patient person, at this point any normal vendor would've just blown me off until the required data was supplied.
Thanks to the great people of this forum, the break up was traced to the large plug gap. Then I broke down and bought the LM1 and sent Steve what he had been asking me for 6 months.
A week later the modified chip arrives and the damn thing is spot on at 12.8-13.0 @ WOT through out the whole rpm range.
Needless to say I'm extremely impressed with Steve's work and more importantly his patience.
Thanks Steve.
