As some may know I have been trading ECUs for the past 6 months and trying everything.
First I bought the Telion type 1 chip. I received another ECU ready to install. I imeediatly installed it and went for a drive. Power was everywhere. Later on I began to notice some strange events. I was filling up more and I stalled 3 times at start up... Telion has agree to send out an updated chip for further testing.
Next I swapped my Stock ECU back in for some control testing... everything went back to normal.
Recently i purchased an SR5guy Stage 3 chip. again imeadiatly installed it and went for a test drive. it was a bit rainy so I was hesitant to put it to the floor. The basis behind the SR5guy chip is orginal software from Dinan then Bayou and finally modified from SR5guy. The Stage 3 requires an intake and exhust. I was worried that this chip would again cause problems with things so i left it in for my trip to south carolina and back (1300 miles) if it can with stand this its good. Success Many got txts and ims tonight about it....

Proof of 26mpg

Butt Dyno:
Stock....... you have your own test results for this....
Telion - Allot of power coming from the engine. First pedal to the floor left a bit of rubber on the road. The delay from the short ram was eliminated however I feel as if some was taken from the mid and high range.
SR5guy - The power seems to be a bit more refined then the telion chip. whether its less or just more evenly placed across the band. However if you want to be put back in your seat it will deffinatly do this. Also if you like the sound of your engine you will enjoy this.
Dyno tests:
Will be done in a few weeks from now so just hang tight
Final verdict: (subject to change with dyno results)
Stock... isn't if obvious it should be replaced...
Telion... testing of the upgrade will prove its not so rich but powerful.
SR5guy... Economy with some attitude
STAY TUNED!
