Can someone reprogram my computer?

I dont know what you would call it but i remember one time i saw a thread about some guy asking someone to redo his computer and retune it to whatever settings you want. Can someone do this to mine? Im taking mine out anyways cause i might need a new one but i gotta check it
I dont know much about the computers so could someone help me out? Thanks!

Re: Can someone reprogram my computer?

personally unless you've done some mods to da' bird, it's pointless in spending money on a custom chip... I doubt you'd see any noticeable difference in everyday driving... at the most maybe 1/10 or so off your time if you take it to the track... then again I could be wrong... In my car with a Hypertech chip, I didn't see much change in anything until I dropped in some headers and a flowmaster... you may want to look into opening her up a bit and allowing her to breath as you'll see more of a difference over doing just a tune...
