    Default stage 3 chip in a vt v6

    hey everyone... sorry if this has been covered but im a noob on here. anyway i was interested in buying a stage 3 chip for my vt v6 as i was told it will increase power and make it run better. is this true? and what exactly does the chip do? (ive been told plenty of things it does)...


    thanks everyone.

    If it's stage 3 then it's ebay. No tuner worth their salt labels their tunes as stage anything.

    You would be surprised. People see stage 3 get excited and buy it.

    No I will program them based on mods and for stock cars I'll make it more responsive without destroying the car and the ecu

    i tuned the vy myself and did an alright job at it, although work in progress. dropped half a sec of 1/4 times jjust by changing shift pressures so it didnt spend 2 secs changing from 1-2 and 3secs from 2-3 lol..a proper chip wont have stage 1, 2, 3,....456. it will have the bin. file used and only the customer and tuner will know what its been tuned for.
