Here's the background:

The origional ADC chip you made for me was a RED module with a SCT stamp on the back of it, but the speed limiter wasn't removed. I know its possible to remove it on the XXY2 ECU because my old superchips module did it. When I asked ADC about it I remember being told that SCT would be updating the program and that we could give it another go. So I waited awhile for the tweaks to the program to be implemented and finally called ADC about it about 3 or 4 months ago. They said they saw a couple changes to the program that might fix it, so they sent me a reburned chip which I swapped out for my first chip from ADC. I put down a $200 deposit until they received the old RED chip back. Well the chip they sent me 3-4 months ago still hasn't fixed the speed limiter thing. I called about it and they contacted SCT, who this time recognized the problem from a couple other XXY2 owners and was doing another major update for my ECU code, and said to sit tight for a week or so. That turned into a month or so, until now, when I called them up. They said yup, there's a new program available, but now they can't find the origional program they just burned for me 3-4 months ago.

So I have a chip in my car right now with the program on it from you Chris, that works great and I have total confidence in it, except for the speed limiter thing. I figured that while they were reprogramming it maybe they could turn off the two rear O2's, which they agreed. But now they just can't find the program on their systems or its been corrupted or something. I'm hoping maybe if I send this chip I currently have in the car back to them, maybe they can pull the program off of it?

My greatest concern is loosing power. It wouldn't be a big deal to me if I lived in AZ I could just take the car to them and put it on the dyno to be sure... So I dunno what to expect at this point.
