Can you tell me why you are such a fun of TA's? I don't doubt it, I was just never sold on them.


Here are my reasons and it may come from ignorance.

TA's advance timing the same amount at all rpms. Is this good? Most chips advance timing as the stock computer does...more at higher rpms.

With a TA, you can't calibrate your speedo or do other things that a chip/programmer can do.

I can see how a frequent drag racer might like it, a few quick clicks and you have advanced it. Want racing fuel, and you just bump it up more.

I suppose with any mod, it all depends how you drive the car.

BTW, 4.10's are fine!!! I would have gone with 3.73 if my car was a daily driver, but now that I have the 4.10's, I can't imagine anything else.

if your looking for every last hp yes then go with a chip(but as a last add on)

put it this way the only chip worth getting is one tuned on a dyno for your car not a mail order one

and most dont have 400-700 sitting around for 5-15 hp

yes a chip can do 100x more then a t/a but it is not needed for almost stock car

and when the time come that you need a chiop you can sell the t/a and speed cal and make a lot of your money back

I bought my speed cal for 89 (sold it on ebay went for 85)
bought my t/a for 139.00 sold it for 125 on ebay


so I spent 228 for them new used them for 1.5 years and sold them for 210

and the only reason I even got a chip at this time was for the 2 step and a nitrous tune
other wise I picked up 3hp for the sct chip over the t/a and it cost me 500$

tell me if speeding almost 300$ more is worth 3hp and 5tq

it was for me to save the motor from going super lean when the nitrous was hit
