thanks again everyone..like i said in the earlier post.. i will have to double check the info. i'm waiting on fordchip's email back.. to let me know the little details and stuff... we just need around 20 cars.. interested so they'll fly here for sure if we have 20 cars ..at least.. so far there are 7 cars..listed .. more than 20 cars is even better... they'll probably stay in the bay for 3 days instead...sat,sun,mon... but yah we have to get responses..before they can fly here... in san diego last may, they were over booked and everyone left there really satisfied with their N/A cars..or blown cars... because of their expertise...

i'll let u know the 411 as soon as i get some 411.. thanks everyone!!!!

I'm interested. I'm just not sure if I'll have my new parts by then. Money's pretty tight right now with X-mas and all. Plus I'd rather do it at Mustang Ranch. I'm not too hip on giving any more money to Apex.

if you already have the chip how much to just get a new tune?
 

---

Posted by Andrew WOT (Member # 1249) on :
 
Afaik they use Diablo blanks (black 4 bank chip), afraid your current chip is useless.

From fordchip.com FAQ

MAF Meters

FordChip only recommends using either a Ford air meter or a Pro-M air meter. The air meter is a very critical part of the EEC control system. All the Ford meters are closely manufactured to keep variability down. All the Pro-M meters are individually flowed and come with a flow sheet. FordChip takes this sheet and makes you a custom transfer function for your individual air meter.

I haven't seen another company that flows each air meter and gives you a flow sheet. They want you to use a certain diameter sample tube to get this flow. FordChip won't make a calibration for your vehicle with this type of air meter. The air meter transfer function is too critical to do this to.

You can try the new Dynojet in Suisun (Fairfield). With 20 cars he will probably give you a good deal.

Advanced Dyno Technologies. 707-425-DYNO

96 Railroad Ave., Suisun City, CA (just off Hwy 12, about 4 miles from I-80).

If you're into big dyno #'s, the ricer dyno in Fremont will get you a pretty dyno sheet

I'm interested in it and one of my brothers would be too, but I can't do it till after the new year.

Posted by CustomFastbackCA (Member # 1369) on :
 
So they need to make three pulls to tune or what? probably be about $600 in all? I might possibly be in if I like what I hear. It would be for my 96' supercharged Saleen.

as for the total cost.. i doubt it will be around $600... but its $300 for the chip.. and i dont think it'll take 3 hours to tune your car.. it took me only 45min-1hr and i had a supercharged v6 .. so neways.. more around a bit over $400 probably..no more.. it depends on ur mods and ur car...

silverstang2k1.. this tune isnt until jan 17,18 so yah that's the new year (03) .. so i'll put you and ur brother down.. i just need some people so they can come down you know...and i need to give them a head count..

Posted by cheap (Member # 858) on :
 
Im out - can't make it that weekend now. Im leaving tomorrow for military stuff and won't have a chance to break my motor in or finish up chasing fuel system gremlins, so the SC won't be on yet

Posted by XR1stang (Member # 2248) on :
 
umm, no replies from the guy that started it?? bah.

Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
you're better off waiting for Byron (local) anyways...
 

---

Posted by XR1stang (Member # 2248) on :
 
I was quoted $700 from Byron to do my chip which means it is a no go. I'll just have my friends at TrueBlue burn one and worry about dyno time later when I find someone less expensive.

Posted by cheap (Member # 858) on :
 
Well i've been told by Klonoa that the tune date has been changed to feb 1st, which means Im probably back in. yay!

Posted by Procharged2Kv6 (Member # 1563) on :
