The commander chip is the best one for a car with a stock MAF.

The extender chip is the best one for a car with the LS1 MAF and Translator hardware.

Both are from FULL THROTTLE SPEED - Store Front Page

I have tried alot of chips !

I have tried alot of chips,

Thrasher 92 for stock injectors

Poston 93 for stock injectors

PTE custom from Harry for 37lb delphi inj

a one off from ebay called ACS STAGE III?? for stock inj

CUSTOM CASPERS, POS, STILL WRONG AFTER 2nd programing, EGR CODE IGNORE DID WORK GREAT Though!

TURBO TWEAK older and newer versions for stock injectors and a 60 lb injector chip for stock MAF, OK

AND the EXTENDER 512 2X for 60 lb injectors<<<<<<<<<<<<< THIS IS THE ONE I LIKE THE BEST

I am going to order a commander for my turbo RIVIREA after the holidays!
MOST FLEXIBLE


REGARDS, TURBO E

We have tryed 3 chips at school : commander,extender and TT. Different chips on the same car and others with the same set-up and same chips as other cars!!!!! ALL-n-ALL, just trying to teach the concept of tunning!!!!!!

Each has it "own" advances.

Some of my students can "tune" with one of them and not the other....and some of the other students were the "the other way around".
With that being said...get one and READ..READ and "PLAY with it", learn as much as you can, ask questions......and that will probly be the "BEST" one for you.
