WHEN I HAD MY 3:73 INSTALLED IN MY 02 GT. THE DEALER WENT INTO THE COMPUTER AND CHANGE THE SETTING FOR SPEEDOMETER, BY TIRE SIZE. IT STILL RAN ABOUT 6 OVER. I INSTALLED A DIABLO CHIP LAST NIGHT AND IT MADE MY SPEEDOMETER RUN ABOUT 20 UNDER. I CALLED MY DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY COULD SET MY SETTING BACK TO MY STOCK TIRE SIZE. HE NEW I HAD A CHIP ON IT AND IT FRIED THE COMPUTER. HE SAID HE SHOULD OF TAKEN IT OUT FIRST. MY QUESTION IS BY HAVING A CHIP, DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT TO PROGRAM, EVEN FOR KEYS. THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM DIABLO DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. ALSO, HAS IT FRIED THE CHIP ANY INFO WILL BE HELPFUL.
