Biggest HP/TQ gain besides headers?

I have a Nitrous tuned Diablochip for sale. It has a tune for both NA driving and a Nitrous tune. My car made 17 more torque and 9 more HP with just the Chip NA at the wheels. On the spray with a 75 shot i made 90 more wheel torque and about 60 wheel Horsepower.

PM for details.

So, what that tuned just for your car or could I get that chip and throw it on my car and get those numbers?

unless your cars are perfectly matched, for mods and such, NO you cant.
You CAN put it in, BUT without a dyno run on it, to know if your lean/rich or Detonating you may just **** your car up.

That is what I figured. But my question now is, how can a chip change the effectiveness of how a car runs if no other mods are changed? I would have figured Ford would have figured out the best way to have it run. But then again this is Ford we are talking about LOL.
 
while still on the subject:

what type of fuel system does the 98 CSVT E0 has?
what shot is recommened for a stock engine with headers/y-pipe, etc? is 75 shot too much? how about 50?
is it a better idea to install the nitros and then tune the car or it doesn't really matter?
 
I'm pretty sure most people who run nitrous all agree that you can safely run a 75 wet shot of nitrous without a tune, I think a few ran 100 shots even, but the max I'd run is a 75.

:rolleyes:

While all cars are differnt, my chip is not going to "**** up" his car. Nothing agressive was done with my tune, the car still runs great.

Im 99% sure you could run my chip on your car and see a gain, it might be more or a gain, it might be less. Either way, its not going to **** up anything.
