TUNING in 2021 “Resurrection of The CHIP” IS it Still Effective?

[@Bigbyrd7340]

I bought a sct chip about 14 years ago. Same thing as a quarter horse, even uses the same type data link as the quarter horse but you can tune through the data link instead of removing the ecu and chip. They call it a switch chip. It has four tunes you can switch on the fly. I have a daily driver good fuel mileage tune a track tune with harder shifts on my 4r70w and a 105 oct. Tune. 5.0 ,35-250-4 comp cams, ported 3 bar 1.60, 1.94 headers trick flow track heat, only thing stock is the block, 36lbs injector, 1 /58 headers 5.0 f150. It can be returned over and over.

[@Neomustangs]

You have an SCT ELiminator chip with a switch thats correct. You can not tune to that chip directly you need quarterhorse and binary editor.

[@Bigbyrd7340]

@@Neomustangs yes that is correct, miss spoke trying to fit alot of info with less carrectors, words. Just remember the catch code on the eec 4 ecu. Love the chip of course quarter horse is the first but I'm in Shreveport and Dallas mustang has sct and they tuned it, like I said I love it works perfectly with a turner who knows this style chip.

When I go to start it now I get no fire at the plug but I can hear the injectors firing. Could it be the tfi module needs replaced?

[@T-bird_Johnny]

Could be a lot of things, I would start checking all the ignition components and move on to the wiring if no issue was found. How were actuating the solenoid?, could you have damaged it or shorted the surrounding wiring? But I would start with basics check all the ignition components if you're not getting spark. Hope this helps, just my $0.02.😅👍

If you have quarterhorse and a license you don’t need a burner. A burner is for those that tune and people that don’t wanna buy moates just want a chip. The tuner burns it

Yeah I’m thinking my bama 4 bank eliminator isn’t helping my fox think it’s running lean. Not sure that’s the chips fault still has factory injectors and fuel pressure regulator/ fuel pump.. I’m going to replace my injectors with new 19lbs and Abbi regulator and 255lph hoping that makes it come alive on the big end..I had the same mph after I installed my mods when I recently raced seemed like it was dieing on the big end.. fingers crossed.. and I have a nos question if I run a dry kit and I turn the fuel pressure up with that help or hurt? I would think it would help but I don’t know.. my overall goal is to be in the 12’s right behind the coyotes or ahead lol.

Is there any way to know what factory stock tune is in a fox ecu if the labels part number tags have been removed.

I installed a vortec s trim on my 1993 cobra many many years ago when I was young and didn't know any better. I had it chip tuned at a local shop and it has been like that for years. Decided to pull the s trim, 36 pound injectors and big maf off and put it back to stock. With the cobra meter and injectors that I saved. Went to pull the chip out and noticed the eec is completely missing all the tags to I'd it as an x3z cobra computer. Dont know if my ecu was replaced because I did not think those labels would fall off that easy.

[@Neomustangs]

@@jasoncostello9709 yep betcha you don’t have an x3z
