Performance chips

[JetMek]

Hey Guys & gals, I was thinking about getting a performace "chip" for my ride and came across this company SLR Motorsports Has anyone used thier chips and are how are they? Or do you all have a better reccomendation? Thanks

[Soup]

that company looks like crap to me, I'm pretty sure those chips are just resistors that trick the computer into adding more fuel. I'm sure there are tons of companies that have made chips for your car that actually work, check out renntech and brabus.

Hey thanks for info, I am still kinda old school, Carbs and points if you know what I mean, keep the ideas flowing, I know my ride can boogie but I still would like to get a little more boogie

more boogie means an lsx swap had to say before someone else

You could probably get some power from an underdrive pulley and a good chip. Or swap in an AMG V8.

go for known companies, like they said above. chips arent a great idea.

chips are generally a shitty idea, all they do is make the computer dump fuel.

Heres something for you, they are a sponsor on mbworld but I would do some feedback searching on them on other benz forums before buying though.

Thanks Gir89, I will check them out some more, looks like were getting on the right track with this. I guess I started this thread to get the "real" scoop on chips and performance. At one time I had a 96 F150 and "chipped it" at a performace shop. I have to admit the chip Did work, better shifting more power, but that install was like 400 buck's (actullay not too bad for what I got). I guess you get what you pay for, but on the other hand "Buyer be ware"
Keep the ideas flowing

I had my car "chipped" at black forest using APR software. A supposed 52 horse gain and almost 90+ tq. It doesnt feel that strong but was a good investment to me. Also if your close to Jacksonville in June they are holding a Euro meet/drag event at Coastal Plains raceway.

only chips ive known to work well are for diesel trucks.

You get what you pay for, i say chip from a reputable place yes, but ebay chips hell no

i chipped my skates one time, bad idea
