Whoa! Don't throw the Super Chip Prom in the trash. That's like throwing $50 away. Proms can be cleared & reprogrammed.

Actually it would be interesting to first read it to see what they did if much of anything. Its a 90 chip so a knock sensor circuit would need to be added in order to use it for anything else.

I didn't mean to literally throw the PROM in the trash, come on guys!!
$50 is $50, but why have a chip in your car you don't know what it's doing. Be safe and go with Marc.....Did that Superchip come in the car when purchased?

Ahhhh ok.... I'm sure that is an older PROM. As Marc told me, as with any computer, you want the newest updates and programs. Which makes perfect sense. You are going to see and feel a difference

I just got off the phone with Marc and I am sending my PROM to him today. Only problem is I won't be able to drive the car for a week.

Marc Haibeck will have it Wednesday. Maybe contact him and see if he can read it and save the information for the record. The fans stayed on 100 percent of the time, the shift light still works, and full power key still works. It backfires like mad.

If the fans are on all the time, sounds like the checksum was disabled.

Marc said that was not a good thing because it will work like a vacuum while driving.
