Hi all,

Anyone have any experience with SpeedTuningUSA chips? They are a German firm with a US presence in MD and they claim their ECU chip delivers +21hp on the 4.2L V8 for $275 installed.

thanks,

My only advice would be to get it in writing, with a before and after dyno.

I have to agree with the above statement.

My past experience with OBDII vehicles, when modifying a stock program with out making any mechanical or electrical changes, will not gain very much over all.
You can change shift points on Automatics but that doesn’t change the Horse Power. And additional Horse Power really means nothing. It’s Torque that your looking for.

Best of luck to ya,
Tim
