![]() Hello,
My mods are listed below, but I was thinking about getting a custom chip. I want one that I can get reprogrammed pretty easily/cheap. I will be getting new injectors/pump with either heads or supercharger for a future mod. I wanted to do some small things for a while (fuel pressure regulator, few electrical quirks, new tires, and stuff like that). I wanted to get a chip soon for a little bit more power (maybe), but mainly to get everything running better. I am willing to pay more for a high quality chip, but I definately want a custom one. I am wondering how much it has the potential of helping, how much they cost to reprogram, and stuff like that... Thanks, DoranW

![]() JMS Chips use the Autologic software that is reprogrammable. The first chip will set you back $300 or so and then it's $80 for re-burns after that. However, if upon receiving your chip your idle problem isn't fixed, or you don't like the program selections, etc., you can ship it back within a couple weeks and they will re-burn it for free.
The best way to do a chip is to have one burned in conjunction with a dyno tune. This way, they can monitor many aspects of your engine in order to maximize power without taking things to the limit. The JMS Chips do come with a 'dip switch' which will have three separate programs to chose from. Each program will be described in the instruction sheet. Hope this helps, E
