gt6152E,alky,60lber's..which chip to get?

[turbogreg]

just wanted to know which chip i should order up. it's an 87 GN everything but heads and cam pretty much. running the regular translator with 3'' lt1 MAF. i have the razor's progressive alky kit on the car as well as a turbotweak alky chip. i was looking at the extender chip and new commander chip as well. is there that much of a difference? really like the security features in the extender chip, but my turbotweak chip has been flawless.

Stay with turbotweak and put in a kill switch. With the regular translator it doesnt matter what chip you use because it cant control fuel anyway. Stay with turbotweak.

thanks, for the input. i really like the turbotweak chips so maybe the kill switch will be next up.

The latest Extender chip is packed with features that make life easy, and tuning a breeze.
The Commander chip is basically similar to the extender except that it is designed for stock maf's

Highly recommend the Extender

You can use the extender chip with the regular translator, you just can not adjust the timing. The extender allows to read double the airflow of the stock MAF, no more guessing at the amount of fuel required after the MAF maxs out.

Regarding the anti-theft features, I found them to be a pain when working/tweeking the car. Personally, it was just a hassle I didn't really need. Though my car is parked in a locked garage w/alarm every night. When the car wouldnt' start for other reasons, I kept 2nd guessing whether I did the disarm sequence correctly. Others seem to really like those features though, but its a thought I wished I'd have considered. Right now it's being sent back to have it taken off the chip.

While theft feature is a PIA you will love it if someone tries to steal your car as they did mine. You can disable it on the extreme chips.

That's the beauty of the extender. You can turn that feature off, unlike the old thrashers where you were stuck with it.
