Default FastChip

What do these chips do for nearly stock '92 cars?

All I have is exhaust, 160 degree thermo and I will be getting 3.54 gears as soon as spring decides to get here.

Is a chip worth it for me? What will it do?

It moves the TC lock up from 41 to 50 and Ed says he tweaks the ASR.

Doesn't anybody sleep? Man, I thought I was up early. Do you still have to buy a custom chip for a stock setup? I don't plan on a lot of upgrades (K&N), but I would like the fan to come on a bit earlier and more aggresive shift points.

Well I go to bed early, just get up about 4. The main reason I bought the chip was for the lower fan settings. I noticed on the few runs I made at the track that the vette was fastest on the first run. The temps was still down around 190 or so. At 220 it looses time. The fan switches for automatically turning on the fans at a lower temp dont seem to be available for the LT1. By the way, I bought mine used from a forum member. $125.00 shipped and included the air foil and a LT1 throttle body cover plate.

Red 86

Your right, IT WILL run faster, the BEST temp is to try & leave the starting line at 140... I have a manual switch, so I can run my fan with the motor OFF, & cool it down while I'm in the stageing lanes..
