Power Chips

Stang_Girl617 · 10-29-2003, 09:03 PM

I recently got a mustang and since it is only a V6 I was interested in adding a chip so that I could get a little more horsepower and torque considering I drive a automatic. I cant find much information on them so I was wondering if anyone had some advice or good sites I could look at before making a decision.

Thanks Guys!

I do not recommened a chip with no mods. I would get gears, exhaust and things like that first. Also what year is it?

Its a 2000 I got it in April. It belong to my dad's bestfriends daughter and she didnt want it so I bought it. It only has 26k miles on it.
What is wrong with no mods and a chip? What can happen?

a chip with no mods wont really do anything...it only really has an impact if you have your car modded

not always true. A chip can still change the shift curves of the auto trans, so it shifts quicker, eliminate the speed limiter, etc.
But, it is better to do the mods first if you are getting a custom chip so that it will take advantage of the mods.
