Does anyone have an experience with the Jet computer chips for 1:1 cars/trucks? I just got my backorder in from summit racing and was curious if anyone here has any experience with it and can tell me what to expect from it.

This is the one I got http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

Ive only used diablo chips in my fords... Seem to work well

What kind of car (make/model/engine?)

Michowski · (#5 (**permalink**))

ford ranger, 3.0L, 5 speed 4wd. I should have my chip probly tuesday.

Procharged5.0 · (#6 (**permalink**))

Sorry, I can't help. I've worked on 5.0 rangers, 5.0, 5.8, 4.6 Mustangs, 4.6, 5.0, 5.4, 5.8, and 7.4 Trucks. Also Cobras and Lightenings (all generations) even a 4.0 & 5.0 Explorer and a SHO taurus but never a 3.0 Ranger.

Both Jet and Superchips seem to work pretty well in my experience so good luck with it. Tell us what you think of the chip once you get it installed.

most people have never seen an engine as small as mine lol. Its got cold air, electric fan, flowmaster, now a chip. Soon it will have new centerforce clutch, maybe headers.

What year is it? Any pics to share?

Michowski · (#9 (**permalink**))

93, no pics right now. Nothing really to show. Besides what i mentioned above it only has 31 inch tires upgraded.

You should put your money into something other than a '93 Ranger 3.0

That's like hopping up a '93 OFNA buggy to try and make it "worthy"

Michowski · (#11 (**permalink**))

Not trying to make it worthy, just get it a little better then stock. After I get my new clutch thats probly gonna be it mechanically wise. As of right now with what ive done I get around 30mpg city so im very happy with what ive done so far. This chip should allow me another 1-2mpg more. Besides im getting a sportbike probly in february so im not gonna be spending a lot of money here.

GO COLD AIR!!!!

That 2 hp must feel really good!! j/f/w/y. Let me know how that chip works out for you,might be interested to try it out!

Also Procharged5.0 do you have any connections with a Ford dealer or are you a mechanic? Could use some help with my 91 exploder!

This is going to be really blunt, but I'm not exactly one to skirt around this subject.

You just wasted $230. I would have done a cat-back, put the money towards headers, or anything else. Hell, $230 would be great towards a mild nitrous kit and would give you way more power than the chip will. A good dyno tune will cost you about $300 to $400 depending on how much time they need to spend on the dyno and will net more power than any standardized chip would. If your car was modded you'd gain quite a bit more power.

When my TransAm finally gets the LT1 in there, its going for a Dyno tune through MadZ28.com. $300 with dyno time and he's considered by the F-body community to be one of the best local guys to go to for EFI tuning.
