Sorry...forgot about da rulez

I was just wondering if there was a chip that removed the rev limiter and could run on 87 octane. This is my daily driver, not my drag car(or weekend racer..77 trans am ), and so i do not want to run 91 octane..highest here in southern cali. Does this kind of chip even exists...can some one , a vendor, program me a chip like this....

Any info would be great!

I've never heard of an off the shelf chip made for 87 octane

I do know custom chips can be programed to work with 87 though.

Word. If you can afford to drive hard/fast, you can afford to do it on premium. When/if you can't afford it, pull the chip out.

If the car is a daily driver, why do you need to remove the speed limiter?

Mine is a daily driver (for now)......... With the chip and S/C the car gets up to those above limiter speeds pretty quick.
For somebody with just bolt ons the Zetec Contour won't get much speed past the limiter.

nobody says you can't do a little highway fun with your daily driver

he probably just wants better shift points and to not be outrun by those hondas once he hits 112.

Should you have to pay so much for that?

Like I said a Contour with basic bolt ons isn't going to gain that much speed without a limiter.
