- Let this serve anyone thinking of buying a "modified" chip for their
- car's computer.
- I was once foolish enough to put a "mod" chip in my Buick Regal.
- Results? The car knocked like you wouldn't believe, and it never did
- before. I lost much power, and to top it off, it stalled my car out on the
- highway. Needless to say, I was pissed at having to change chips on the
- burm. Biggest waste of money in my life. ---And yes it was the right one!
- Not convincing enough for a friend, he put a chip in his 1990 Mustang GT
- Results? Ran like complete crap. And convinced him for life.
- The moral here is: you can't make your car something its not-------
- even though the Chip manufacturers want you to think that.
