Re: fastchip stay away (JCAIRE2)
ed burn't a custom chip for 24# injectors and some other mods i was told by many companys that burn they want to know what gears, if it's a stick or auto and so on ed wright didn't ask me a thing he said he's chips aren't burn't that way for $400.00 they should be tuned to your car not every car out there my headers were getting very very hot my car wouldn't idle in open loop i even had a scanner on it when i was driving to give him data so he could correct it for the second chip he made that one was worse i guess it didn't work out for me i know a few people that had problems with he's chips but that was after the fact.

I have a ski_dwn_it chip. aka Jesse. If the price is still the same as last month it's $250 for UNLIMITED burns. (on the same chip of course)
You guys might want to contact him. He's very accurate.

Re: fastchip stay away (vvv90)
Ed did the first 3 chips in my car. Did you not print off the order form off of his site? It outlines exactly what is done to your car from gears to cam. I am satisfied with mine, although I do my own stuff now I would reccomend him. I paid 350 for mine and all that was wrong with it was that it was too rich on start up and too rich from 4800 rpms up.

Re: fastchip stay away (Larry Mackey)
I have been running one of Ed Wright's Fastchips for about 4 years now with no problems. Sorry you are having trouble but I am very satisfied.

Re: fastchip stay away (IBEAM700)
I just started doing my own chip burning andmodifying,and have to say it isway cooler.just gotta read and read and read, and see what , what means..Fun too with the right equipment/software.
Also what mods do you have? Even with a mismatched chip your car should run 'ok'.. Maybe there is something wrong with your ecm? Could be..
I've heard good things about fastchips, just their prices are bonkers.

Re: fastchip stay away (6spd)
My first chip was an Ed Wright chip and it was pretty good. It was a tad rich but further mods offset that. I've since started doing my own tuning because it's cheaper that way :)
