Diablo Chip in 00 GT

[stangt00]

Actually, I was thinkin of going with the Steeda chip just to be sure since they guarantee compatability and serviceablity with ford. I always get the damn ******* tellin me "Well, you got an aftermarket chip in it so theres nothin I can do till you remove it". Atleast with the Steeda, I wolnt have that problem. As far as the check engine light, like I said, I know the chip wasnt programmed for it, and I took the chip out and it was the same. Also, my idle has always been erratic with the chip in. It hangs at 1000 to 1100 rpm when I dump the clutch, when decelerating, and sometimes it drops to 500 or stalls. The Steeda guy said it was probably the mass air. I also get alot of valve noise with the chip in. When I took the chip out, the valve noise was almost unnoticable. You think I should keep the chip since I paid alot to Dyno tune it ($100/hr), or step up to the Steeda. They said their chip would be a standard burn except for the gear ratio. Lastly, what do you think of the setup and Dyno figures I got? I was told they translate to about 330 hp and 345 torque, at the motor.
