    How much leaner is Ultimates "Lean" version?

    It all makes sense, version 6 is richer than 7, turn the 6 upside down and you have 9, which was the update for version 6. That left 8 to be the update for 7. Now that the higher number was richer, the latest versions kept his convention, so 10 is lean, 11 rich. See? It all makes sense and...

    the ultimate question

    Re: the ultimate question About 2 degrees before it will be obviously visable. Whomever you got it from should have included the instructions, ask for them. Todd

    Any Ultimate thefts?

    Sure, if the thief saw the display, knew what it was and how it worked. Then had time to open it up, cut the wires, strip them, and connect them. Most thieves are looking for kill switches. The new versions released last summer require a code to be entered to lock/unlock them, eliminating the...

    Ultimate V9 and Ty....having random issues

    BillZ, Last I heard you were still using a Borg Warner MAP sensor and not the AC Delco 16040749 specified in your instructions. Does anyone know if this MAP will work? I do not know of anyone using it nor if it will wrok properly. Todd

    Any Ultimate thefts?

    Just curious, has anyone had or heard of a thief defeating the Ultimate chip security feature? This feature has been in place several years now and I was not aware of any instances. Todd

    Ultimate V9 and Ty....having random issues

    My first guess would be either a wire has come loose in the connector to your ecm, as this exhibited the same intermittent problems in my truck. I recall I had a ground wire and O2 wire that needed a new pin for the connector. The truck would be running fine and then suddenly stall or stumble...

    running 12.00's on stock motor? maybe even pump gas

    Running 12.0's with a Sy on a stock motor shouldn't be difficult at all with race gas. I ran these times in my Typhoon back in '98, 12.10's at 112 mph with no brakes to hold boost. I could've had 11's if I could have held a few pounds of boost before launching. All I basically had was a...

    quick answer ultimate question

    Re: quick answer ultimate question Were did you get this chip from and did it come with instructions? You say "I also know it doesn't have any boost control", well it does, that's what the 15-24 represents. What adjustments have you made to your wg rod? Most people have gotten pretty good...

    Running rich problem...........help......

    Just for clarification, the 10-1 chip uses the stock 2 bar MAP sensor. I still think that a wire came loose from the ECM connector when you pulled it down. May even have been the O2 sensor wire if removing this sensor made no difference. This situation caused me all kinds of headaches way...

    Need diagnosis help

    That's a good point. This too happened to me from yanking the ECM down too many times. I eventually pulled a ground wire and the IAC control wire out of the ECM connector. This was years ago and quite a headache to diagnose.

    Need diagnosis help

    I once had a similar problem with my Ty, and it turned out to be that my base timing was off by 6 degrees retarded. It did the exact same thing until I corrected this. I had checked for vacuum leaks, IAC operation, O2 sensor replaced, plugs/wires. Nothing helped until I reset the timing...

    Interest in knock LED?

    The new style Ultimates, both the "radar" and gauge style have the knock LED included. The gauge style has it integrated into the display, and the radar style has the option of integrating into the display or mounting it remotely. This previous post shows both versions, scroll down to see a...

    Ultmate V9 problems...

    I'll take care of it one way or another. We're working out details now. I'm thinking it may be a cable issue that occured just before we switched over to the new designs. A couple of the new cables designed for the knock circuit were used accidentally in the old style chips, which can cause...

    My slow POS (kind of long)

    Out of curiosity, where did you get V8 from?

    My slow POS (kind of long)

    Version 8 was developed because a lot of guys were having the opposite problem as you, they could not get rid of knock, especially with some of the crap west coast 91 octane gas. Anyway, you only mentioned e.t. what about trap speed and 60'? What are your MAT temps? Version 8 pulls out timing...

    Ultimate II pics

    Yes, it can be integrated in the display enclosure like the gauge or optionally run to a remote LED via a 2 wire cable for those who want to mount the display in the glovebox or somewhere less visible. At this time you can get one from me or Mike Lee at http://www.raceprovenmotors.com/

    Ultimate II pics

    First off, sorry if there is trouble with the pics, I don't know why some may have had trouble, they come up for me everytime I try to view the message. For future reference, is Geocities not reliable and/or compatible with all browsers or what? The keylock issue was based on a democratic vote...
