Perf. Chip

Anyone else had luck with any kind of performance chips? Ken, I know you have the Bayou chip. Did you put that in right when you put in the Type II ECU or did you drive the Type II ECU for a while first w/o thi Bayou chip? I'm just curious if it actually does anything. Where did you get it from and how much? I might just order my Type II ecu and get it chipped before I put it in the car, but ONLY if it's worthwhile. Any one know of any other chips out there?! Or anyone had any luck with custom programmers?

I drove it for about 2 days without the Bayou chip. The Bayou chip adds a bit of performance, I felt its worth it, others do not.

Did you get it from the guy on the Legend forum? How much was it? Core charge, or does it just piggyback?

eBay. I got it for a steal. I'll have to dig out my receipts but I got it for under 300, I'm thinking 200 or so (?)

Will check.

It wont work unless you have an OBD I system (Pre 1996) with a C32A6 (same as our TL motor) or C32A5 motor (Type II)
