What is a good performance chip for my VS Commodore?????????

[00B3R89]

Hey guys im just starting to do up my VS Commodore and i was just wanted to know what would be a good performance chip for my VS???? i got told memcal chip is good but i did my research and it only does some tuning to fuel, exhaust etc. im trying to look for a performance chip to get my horsepower and more kws to my rear wheels...

ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT

Thanx 00B3R

Yeah, it seems you may be thinking a performance chip is somthing its not. The memcal is the chip in your car, the tune on it is the bit that is modified to turn it into a "performance chip". Dont be dissilusioned by any comment anywhere(ESPECIALLY EBAY CHIPS) that suggests that any gains from any so called "performance chip" will see you with anymore then a few extra rear wheel kw's. Do NOT pay hundreds of daollars for one, they can be gotten here from members off this site for alot less and will actually deliver on realistic expectations.
As for tuneing and only playing with fuel, air an stuff, well thats how you make a car go better by playing with that stuff. A performance chip cant make your intake valves lift for longer or give you a bigger bore stroke, no matter how good it is

Well there's a wide range of options and all are good. There's Dr Bob, Delcowizzid and the site sponsor Mace. All will give a good tune that you will notice the difference from factory.

What about greenfoam? You could also tune it yourself costing around $300 and you can tune in real time.

i can vouch for a Delcowizzid tune , you have a v6 yeh ?

manual or auto.
any mods yet?
I`ve got a spare Dr.Bob memcal.

Have a look at his site and fill out order form to see how much the memcal will cost.

Hey guys thanx for great info.... i am running a v6 3.8ltr AUTO, got 2 & 1/2 inch cat system on it ( looking into getting extractors) and i also have a pod filter on aswell.

so yeh.... will the dr bob chip and the others stated above make a difference from factory tuned, (IM NOT EXPECTING A GREAT INCREASE BUT IF YOU COULD SUGGEST SOMETHING THAT WILL, THAT WILL BE GREAT)

Thanx

Hi,

If you're after something that gives a good difference, try a set of high ratio roller rockers from FIT Performance and then see if you can get a tune to suit.

It depends what you want. For instance i want better fuel eco and more of a kick. So when i get the cash ill be doing some live tuning of my own. Lean cruise will be adjusted and ill be changing the shift speeds, times and pressure.

[00B3R89]

i was thinking, i mainly want to give my car a lil bit more power to the rear wheels, also wouldnt mind a a lil faster take off and mid range power boost....... im trying to find some info on the delcowizzid and dr bob chip but cant find any... if someone could tell me how to buy one and give me some info on them, that would be great.

[seq4x4]

Delcohacking.net. Youll find them both there.

You could try the contact page on memcals.com - http://www.memcals.com/quote_1.htm .
The high ratio roller rockers though, give you more power pretty much everywhere and are not that hard to install so you can do it yourself if you like.

[00B3R89]

it is a good idea but dont have that kind of money atm.... i was looking into rockers at a later date so yeh but thanx anyways....

Any questions related to tunes you should ask there, thats what the forum is dedicated to.
If you get smart enough with it all you can get your own memcal and tune it how you want.

is the quote reliable cause i see how it asks for ur address and phone number, i dont exactly want someone coming up to my door and shit... thats all. lol

[wraith]

Rob's perfectly fine. He's an awesome tuner.

[00B3R89]

no worries man, thanx for the info.... do u know where he is situated at????

[wraith]

Not to sure mate sorry.

[00B3R89]

hey, i got intouch with rob, the memcal guy, does any one know what type of memcal he sells you? or is it depending on the make of the car????

if so has anyone with a VS bought one off him????
