Re: performance chip quest (DADDY D)
now put that stuff in your sig, and use commas, youd have to put that one on a dyno to see where your max TQ and HP numbers are, then have a chip made for it

Re: performance chip quest (DADDY D)
If you are talking about the rpm's that the transmission shifts at, and it is a 93 or older, then the answer is no. A chip can only control Torque Converter lock up. The shift is controled by internal pressure and the govenor in the transmission.

Re: performance chip quest (DADDY D)
Indeed your shift points at WPT are controlled by weights in the tranny govenor, but I don't think this is your question.
You can use an AFPR to tune fuel flow at WOT, base timing to offset timing, and the TPS idle offset to tweak fuel and timing a little. A scan tool to look at BLMs and Integrator values will tell you if the ECM is able to adjust fuel at part throttle but it will take a dyno pull with a wide band O2 sensor to give you the real scoop at WOT.
So far, with about 300hp at the crank, I can tune my motor fine with the above methods so a chip isn't required, yet. My dyno pulls from 3,200rpm showed tha A/F ratio went to 12.6:1 at WOT and rose to 12.8:1 by 5,200rpm, which is quite acceptable. Since you also have heads & cam change it's worth a dyno pull and scan to see where you are.
BTW, have you any time slips with that setup?
