The guy was trying to tell me that they make a Hypertech for our cars. He also tried to tell me that superchips doesn't make a chip for our cars. What is this guy talking about.... 1998.5 SVT

Has anyone else experienced this? I concur. It fried your PCM??? Installer error perhaps? A chip just acts as a set of tables for the computer to use. It is in no way self powered. It is basically just a flashable Eprom connected to the PCM input port. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...
