It is funny how people with the least amount of knowledge of how the computer/chip works will always be the ones complaining the most. On a properly tuned stock or Blue Top injectored car (w/o radical turbo or camshaft), you cannot beat the Thrasher for streetability (if you ignore emissions).
Usually it is people that have jacked with stuff on their motor, then try a new chip as a "fix-it", that run into trouble. It doesn't work so they blame the chip.
I am a Thrasher distributor and can say that every time I have found out about a problem with a Thrasher-equipped car, it was related to something other than the chip (i.e. bad battery, bad MAF, bad p/n switch, bad afpr or bad ECM are the problems I have run into/diagnosed.) If when you put the chip in, the SES does not flash code 51, it is a good chip and probably always will be.
I will gladly
always answer questions about Thrashers, so fire away
. When Tom created these chips, he altered tables, constants and variables which make it very, very hard to decipher (i.e. it is another form of copy protection). As such, I cannot tell anyone what the timing is (whether the question is asked correctly or not) as I myself do not know. Trying to compare a Thrasher to someone else's chip, is comparing apples to oranges.
Sincerely,
