You can use this remote w the bin switcher
http://www.moates.net/ex-remote-swit....html?cPath=64 You'll need to use a chip large enough to hold the number of different calibrations, so a 256K chip will hold 8 different calibrations. The remote will then allow you to select among them on the fly. Not sure that for a DD its all that necessary. I do use an Ostrich for mine when I am tweaking mode but then burn a final bin into the stock memcal for reliability.

If you go to Marc Haibeck's site you can see the various chips he offers already made and what each does and why. Read the installation instructions for the full reasoning. In addition, he can custom make one tailored to your build. Over the years two guys made the most chips for owners, DRM and Marc and Marc seems to be rising nowadays. I happen to have a DRM in mine and I like it but it was there when I got it. The most frequent thing the chip guys do is to advance the timing from stock, lean the mix at full throttle, change the set points on the fan(s) to come on sooner and either both at the same time or quickly one after another to keep the engine cooler, lock out the CAGs function (1-4 shift light deal) and/or turn the valet switch default to On instead of Off. Beyond that he can do anything you want. He is very experienced with these motors to help guide you as well. His choices are pretty rational on how much he does things and what you have to do as a result, like run 91 octane, etc. If I didn't already have a DRM in mine I'd be buying his stock chip for the 1991 model year which is different from other years. Check his site.
He does a good job of giving you starting info and if you talk to him about custom I'd guess he can tailor to your needs quite well. Lance P.

![]() I started modding my 84 Xfire and found out I needed to re-calibrate in order to make things work. Re-wired the car for a different ECM, bought equipment and software then read what I could on Web. Burned a lot of gas too. Been tuning for myself about 13 years now.

I am still learning. I actually got introduced to the whole OBD1 custom tuning thing from my GMC Syclone and TTA (Turbo Trans Am with a Turbo Buick Engine). They say tuning a turbo vehicle is serious business, and not many people burn custom chips that you can trust now-aday. Those applications also introduced me to the stand alone engine management systems. Honestly I am still trying to get comfortable reading my datalogs first HAHAH ![]()
