Default SuperChip for 81 4sp

Hey;

Anyone heard of 'Superchip' doing chips for the 81 computer?
I pulled my computer this weekend to replace it and found a
chip with the label 'AOS Superchip'

Thanks.

He drove it that after noon and was thrilled boy did it do wonders for the performance of the car and the gas milage went up about 1.5 miles per gallon so keep it they do work

Adam,
Is there any chance that you could read the PROM into a file for me??? When I get back from vacation I'm planning on reading my chips & comparing them, so another one may throw some more light on everything (or just make it even more confusing!).
I'm surprised that you can't find a confuser for it as it seems everybody on the forum chucks them away. Have you tried asking on the L81 forum?

Hi Paul;

Well I was able to read the data...

I have the files for the SuperChip and (supposedly) an 81 4sp prom...

I'm going to try and plot the big table difference (spark advance table?)
To see how they compare withe 82 stuff (though I'm told they are different.)


PM me when you're ready .... Or anyone else...

i would be very interested to know what you find. i probably wouldn't understand the table but if you could post a laymen version of your findings, i'd be interested to know what the differences are. thanks.
