A NEW CHIP???????????????

Im cruising the streets in L.A. and i saw some 2k2 civic rolling next to me with rims and exhaust, so we start messing around and i notice this guy is pretty quick. So i tell him to pull over, i ask him what he has and hes like im just stock, with a muffler and chip. I was like chip what kind of chip ECU? he was like naw some other chip. So he tried to explain what it was, i couldnt see it but i know it wasnt the JET Chip. Any1 know what im talking about. It made his car sound different, it sounded tight actually. He said it runs for like 400 bucks. I got his number, because i dont think any1 knows about it. Any1 know what im talking about???????????

I dunno...jet makes an upgrade for your ECU.... nopionline.com

EDIT: they dont make a chip, but if you send them your ECU..they will tweak it and ship it back to you for free...my bad

coulda been the venom 400, but that really doesn't make your car faster, just 'better' response, it tricks your car's ecu into thinking it is going faster than it really is, thus the ecu pours more fuel into the injectors.

yeah, its called a reprogram. they reset the fuel curves for max performance.

best way to do it is on the dyno, and track the results.

local shop in San Jose will do it for $300, walk in, walk out.
