I have just dropped a stroker in my VR with a MSD throttle body, does anybody know how to reset the computer and who does the best chip reprogramming at a good price in the Perth area

reset ecu - remove battery neg terminal or ecu fuse (same result, but with fuse you don't need to re-program radio stations etc)
leave out for 30-60 secs then replace
start engine and hold a 3000rpm for 30 secs
done

having said that, this is the process for a v6, not sure if it's the same for a v8, but it won't hurt if it's not.

re-programming? maybe chiptorque? sorry mate, i'm not over there

Remove the 20A engine fuse near the battery.

Done, started car once replaced fuse, engine made a funny noise, now average fuel consumption works quicker.

Thanks.
