Precision Engineered Speed Chip
Has anyone ever tried one of these? I found the unit in my glove box when I bought the car - it was a mechanics lien situation so PO info was nil. I can see where it was installed once though.
 Thanks

It looks like one of the resistor packs that wires in with the intake air temp sensor. All it does is fool the DME into thinking that the ambient air temp is cooler (thus more dense) to increase fuel injector pulse length.
They work great on Dodge Neons.... but I wouldn't put one on a P-car! Just my .02! -Nick

I used to have one on my '85 Vette and once set up correctly you could feel the difference. It takes some doing to set it up correctly and you need to screw with it as the seasons change, but other than that, it worked very well. I took it off because Eckler's has a kit that relocates the sensor to the Air Box Inlet. That way the sensor actually senses the air temp. It seemed a better way to go rather than fooling the ECM.
Hey good luck with it! //YFS// Ed |
