ive just rebuilt my 350 L-98...the mods are as follows... 24# injectors,1.5 roller rockers,tpis zz-9 cam,ported&polished vortec heads, edelelbrock polished intake runners,sdpc ported&polished vortec intake,roller lifters,ported&polished plenum...comp ratio is 10.1,headers, i built this motor to pull its guts out till 5000-5500 rpm......will my factory chip work with this setup?....im new to this so i really need your guys help......thanks

 

I'd say you do. It will run with the stock chip, but it'll run real rich and probably have a few other problems.

Yeah you need to compensate for atleast the 24lb injectors...I'd be really interested in seeing what you run in 1/4...are you planning on taking it to the track soon?

 

yes as soon as i get it going.......im changing my gears to 373s and i should have it going before long....im wondering about the horsepower/torque this combo will produce.....but this chip business is new to me and it kinda has me concerned.........

 

I am just starting a 383 buildup for my 91 TA. I know next to nothing about getting custom buned chips. Where do you guys normally get them done? Speed shops? Do I just give the shop the specs on my car and they know how to burn it? Will a quality shop need to tune the car after buning the chip, or is just stick it in and go? About what will it run me to have a custom chip made and then tuned properly? Thanks for helping out with my lack of computer knowledge.

 

i know how you feel.......ive heard some good things about fastchips.com......i dont know where to begin with this problem.....some of these guys on here really know their stuff when it comes to this problem......maybe somebody else will read this and offer some more advice............if i can get 270-280 hp out of this setup ill be happy...:hail:

 

Let's say you have something that's not right,
ie a headache.
So you go to the drug store and get some aspirin.
Well, it turns out you had a brain anuesum, and taking the aspirin thinned your blod enough that it ruptured and you died.

You took the right mediciene for the symtoms.

generic answers aren't always good, which is what you get when you order a chip over the phone.

If your into hot rodding for the long haul, might as well get into the chip thing. It's by no means rocket science. yes, it involving learning some new stuff, but it's not that bad, IMO.

 

do you burn your chips grumpy?....if so how about helping us out?......thanks

 

i burned my first one 6/2003. with 20 burns later it is close. on the dyno as at 12.0/1 at WOT. PE is dam near perfect now. Blms are 126-130 all over. still have not optimized 4400 rpms yet but will. it is actually fun once you start understanding. study required. this forum is very helpful. give it some thought.
