Chip for '02GT Novi 1000; suggestions?

BryantD · 10-28-2002, 08:51 PM

I have a Novi 1000 Supercharger with the Paxton air to air Intercooler ordered for my '02 GT. The issue I have is the chip that comes with the Novi kit is not ready for the '02 yet. Paxton says they hope to have it ready early next week (week of November 4th). I'm looking for a plan B in case the Paxton chip doesn't ship. Does Diablo, Autologic, Fordchips, Tweecer, or any others have a chip for a '02 GT? I have conflicting information on this as well.

Regardless of the chip, a true dyno-tune should be able to tune just about any set up.

The question is finding a place that DOES a true dyno tune.

Many performance shops just send in the car's specs to the chip manufacturers and they send back a program for the car to be burned to the chip.

A true dyno-tune will be programmed while the car is on the dyno, with someone changing the parameters in the chip after each run to verify your chip is EXACTLY the way you need it.

For example: Dallas Mustang made my Autologic chip's programming with about 30-40 minutes on the dyno.

Ihave to 2nd that ..you do not want to take a chance on a mail order chip. ..even one that is supplied by the s/c mfg. blew my first motor on a chip supplied by Votrech...the only way is to have your chip cut on a dyno..My first chip took 1 1/2 hrs and 17 runs. it's a small investment when you consider the cost of a new motor.
