Ok, Im new to this computer controled vehicles universe. I recently bought a 3 bar map sensor from GM but now i've realized that i also need a chip! Hell i even thought it was the same thing.
What kind of chip should i go for to get at least some 20 lbs of boost, whats FAST, motech and all those brands i often read about?
Any help will be greatly apreeciated, thanks.

Yes you need a 3 bar chip now. You can have one burned or just buy one that is already done. Look in the Classifieds section

Search some more, FAST is a fuel air management system for lots of cars, I dont think you will need to go that far yet.


Search Search Search, most of the things you need you can buy off the people on this site.

The only chip that you can buy that will run a 3 bar is the Ultimate chip. Do a search on that and you will see that it's really the best option. Pretty much everyone who is running a 3 bar is either using the Ultimate or running a custom burnt chip. Here's a link to get ya started on the Ult

I am being totally honest with you. You have a lot of reading to do before you change the chip and get anywhere close to 20 lbs. of boost. You need to have a decent understanding of how the systems work on SyTys. You also need to have some understanding of tuning.

And most important you need a datalogger like Datamaster and learn what you should be looking for.

Wanting instant gratification by turning up the boost with no understanding of what you are doing will almost always result in broken parts.

Go to the tuning section and read away. The P4 document is required reading as well. All in the tuning section

But....

But....

But some how i need to start gathering the right parts for the mod i want to do, so far i know i need a 3 bar sensor, a 3 bar ultimate chip, a bigger fuel pump, and and a lot of reading like you said. Dont think im just instantly goin to hook the chip up and boost the hell out of it, i just need to know what are the right parts to buy. If any one knows the e mail for STG Racing so i can get an ultimate chip i would greatly apreeciate it.

Also would a holley elect' blue pump work for me?, whould a 7th injector work for the fueling needs, instead of just gettin bigger injectors and havin to make all that tunnin again?

Thanks to all of you guys, your advise is always wellcome.

Not familiar with that one. This pump is proven until you get crazy with the build. FPG003 available at http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/

Stock injectors have taken trucks into the 11's on a 20G and easily into the 12's on the stocker. 12's are possible with a Ultimate and stock injectors.

Mike Lee at RPM and McCoy Motorsports sells the Ultimate.

The single most important investment you will ever make for your truck is here http://www.ttspowersystems.com/diagnostic.htm

Well. Learn your stuff before you buy anything.

Also if I wanted to use someone's avatar I'd first ask him especially if the only way to get it is to save his avatar picture. That's not nice...

Peace,
