Sup People...Just wanna kno if anybody knows anything about a "Precision Performance Speed Chip" for a 99 v6 ATX...i'm really interested in the positive and negative affects...or if anyone has experience with it...thanx

If you want to go with a tried and dyno proven chip for the 99+ Cougar, contact ADC at www.arizonadynochip.com. If you want something to reflash the pcm with contact ADC or www.brenspeed.com.

No doubt, good stuff B...but i'm really interested in the whole "tricking the ECU" into thinking it's recieving more or colder Air and better fule mixture...what's up wit dat?...

oh that one...the ones you can pick up at radio shack for a few cents. :screwy: Some Ranger dynoed that ebay resistor chip. For some reason he was putting down really low numbers and then realized he had installed one of those resistor chips and forgot to uninstall it. Anyways, he took it out and immediately picked up a 20 whp and 15 wtq. Its a complete waste of money, and will guarantee a loss of hp. I can find the dyno sheet if you want. More fuel does not mean more hp.
EDIT: Found the thread with the hp numbers
1st Pull: 140.68/177.05
2nd Pull: 137.41/173.00
After removing the Wonder Chip
3rd Pull: 160.27/191.98
4th Pull: 161.73/187.22

thats weird it caused a power loss, i got one off ebay and tried it in my cavalier and i DID notice an increase in power, not much of one but it was enough to feel, however i didnt even keep it in there a day and i was looking through the cavalier forums for info on them, after reading just 2 threads i went and yanked that piece of shit right out, bascially it does give your car more fuel, but since your car has nothing to burn that extra fuel, the shit (fuel) builds up and up and forms a nice layer or carbon on your vavles causing them not to seat properly, and thats where you will lose power, it will take maybe a week or 2 to notice this power loss but in the end you WILL have less power then you originally started with
keep in mind this is just what i heard

Good lookin Jake...i just threw it in over the weekend...does nothing for 0-60 but after 60, open throttle...most deff a little difference...its rated at an extra 22 horses...lol...but i'd say maybe 10...i'll let u guys kno how it goes

put it on a dyno. If 10 hp were really that easy to gain, Ford and Mercury would install 1 cent resistor chips from the factory.
Btw, at our Ford Contour dyno day we had last year, every contour/mazda 6 there that didnt have a dyno tune, pegged the wideband rich at 10:1. Adding more fuel certainly isnt going to yield more hp.

I tell ya what. Those 1 cent resistors are becoming more and more rare from radio shack.

where do you install a racing chip on a 2002 mercury cougar?

what kind???? if its the piece of shit one were talking about, theres a tube that goes from your air filter to your engine, in that tube is a sensor, unplug that sensor and put the resistor in the plug where the sensor was

How can u change the Air intake sensor with speed clip. your Airfuel Ratio is depend on your air intake sensor and some other sensors. If your change the sensor to ur speed chip. your Pcm Gonna receive a wrong reading and you can mess up your air fuel ratio, which can effect ur power performance.

it will make you peg rich for sure. Im still baffled how people can think this mod can actually gain hp. Unless your running lean from the factory, which is about 0% because Ford purposely tunes their vehicles to run rich from the factory to prevent engine damage. EVERY single Ford Contour we dynoed at Spring Zing last year that didnt have an after market tune, pegged the wideband meter at 10:1 air/fuel ratio. Dumping more fuel on top of that will just hurt performance more.

If u wanna get more gas MpG and some perfomace. Puting Speed chip is not the way to get more power. Get K&N cold Air intake it can increase ur Gas MpG may be up to 2 or 3 Mil. And it can give u some Power performace if u INSTALL IT RIGHT

Just for a reminder....I NEVER expected this "chip" to increase hp...infact i started this thread tryin to find out if anyone had info or experience with this "Performance Speed Chip." And no i DID NOT Pay for this mod expecting it to increase hp...i RECIEVED this mod and tried it...simple and plain...So the outcome...mpg stays the same...no affect 0-60...after 60 open throttle MOST DEFF a differene...i mean the car has good passing power stock...but now i guess it's the throttle response...just more quicker...so all in all it's a cool little cheap mod...not something to go and purchase though...cuz like B said...it's simply a resistor...so if any other Cats look into the "1 cent" resistor...lol...i'd say do what Singh said...just get an intake...short ram...cold...it'll do the same thing...and do it right....
