No, it's not a joke. Go search and read the thread that explains it. IT's for use with race gas and keeps the coolant temp down or something to that effect, which helps with the timing maps...

 

The Buschur race chip is not a joke. It helped me by at least 1mph. I have also found having the heater turned up to the max also seemed to give me an additional 1mph or more when using the chip but for some reason didn't help my ET yet. Give J-Rod or Nick a call at Buschur. It is definitely worth the $5 bucks. It is a quick change too. You just unplug the sensor from the back right corner of the valve cover (as you are facing the engine from the front of the car). Bend over the two wires of the chip to double the ends (this will keep the chip in the connector better) and insert it in the plug end. Keep an eye on your coolant temps just to make sure they stay in check and only use it at the track with race gas. Thanks Al for helping put mine in at the shootout!

 

I will definetly be ordering this thing tomorrow, will post results after my next time at the track, hopefully I can do a before and after installation run to see if MPH is affected. Thanks for the input guys.

Any other suggestions for my setup?

 

When you try the chip also try it once with the heater on full blast. Turned all the way up with fan on setting 4. I know it sounds silly but my traps changed by 2 - 3mph. I will be testing this further but would like to see others try it as well. Other thoughts are fold in your mirrors, and of course keep your windows up even though the one run might be a little hot with the heater on it may be worth it. If you don't mind, PM me or update the post as I would like to see how it works out for you.

 

Hey is it the pulg that goes into the coolant elbow , under where the thermastat should be ?

 

Sorry, I don't have my car here right now so I can't say for sure. Maybe Al or someone from Buschur can answer this if they see it. Otherwise, ask them when you order.

 

All ready got it , just was not looking at my car when Nick told me how to hook it up, so i forgot what he said . I was just trying to save a call (I hate Cell phone's) but thanks anyways .
