Which "chip upgrade" really is the best? This site

[SappySE107]

No, they use an older computer that I haven't messed with. I don't have the code or a scanner for it.

Its going to feel the same way most likely. Its a physical issue, not tuning that causes your problem.

Will do. Whatever then. I will just readjust my TV cable to make up for it

More overall peak power, and more power down low looks nice! Good optimization there!

Yeah the power drop off at higher RPM is due to the gen2 intake manifolds/etc. If you did a gen3 top end swap you'd have plenty of power up top. Actually my gen3 motor seems to really wake up at 3,000rpms. Kind of backwards from the gen2 stuff. Sometimes it's almost like "vee-tek" as sometimes it doesn't run as good as other days and will be slow until that magical 3k rpm then bam. But it's still got plenty of power before 3k, it's not like it's dead on it's feet.

Mine has tons of torque off idle, and does great to about within 500 R's of redline. Then it falls on it's face unless i let off the throttle just a BIT to let it shift. Then it literally torque-steers into second, and takes off like a bat outta hell. And so forth thru all the gears. But I will be selling this car eventually to fix up my 13 second GTZ, so I am not gonna dick around with new heads, intake, ex. manifolds etc

What's in the GTZ?

[85_305]

A thirteen-second quad four
W-41 cams, milled and decked head, fully rebuilt quad 4 w/ 10k miles, high compression pistons, high compression head gasket, K&N FIPK, Monza full exhaust, a GM-retuned prom for all the mods, high output FP, close ratio 5spd, etc

me too, lots of torque off idle to 3K rpm, then ramps up quicker to about 4200rpm, then still makes power to 5300rpm, but not as quickly.

Turns I do, in fact, have plenty of upper-RPM pull. Me and my best friend pulled hardcore on a high '90's 323i today four consecutive times. This was BEFORE the 323i owner flipped us off as we laughed at him

i have summit high output coils, a jet stage 2 chip and a custom burnt chip if you are interested in some upgrade parts.

[85_305]

which of the two chips worked the best for you?

[Jbrogan]

the custom one, because it disabled the speed limiter and set the rev limiter to 6500rpm i say $50 would be a sufficient price.

[85_305]

You have a 3100 though. I have a 3.1. Besides, I am unfortunatly getting rid of the car next Wednesday. I am picking up another GTZ. But I will get another GP. But it WILL be another 5spd car. But thanks

[Jbrogan]

no, both the chips are for 3.1 beretta/corsica 90-93, they were for my old beretta.

[85_305]

Oh nice!
Out of curiousity, why did you set the rev limiter to 6500 if the car stops pulling around 5200, give or take?

[Jbrogan]

because when i run it to 6000rpm i get better times at the track. bout .1 in the 1/4 mile, gives a better 2nd gear pull.
