Racing Chips
I called around for any racing chips that fit a 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe. But I was told by one racing company that they could only reprogram the chip for peek performance.
Does anyone have a racing chip for their Honda?
The guy was going to charge $350. But my car would be out for 3 days.
Tell me any info pls!

tooo all those who posted did any of you have a chip in your car or going by what others said?
I have a chip in my car right now and the difference is very noticable forget what you heard. my chip changed my A/F without need of a Apexi V-afc (even though i wanted one), moved my VTEC, removed my govern and moved my shift points (i have an auto) it was well worth the money.. i didnt mind the wait cuz i had a Jet ecu laying around at the time so i just plugged and played with the jet... wasnt as good as the other chip but a worth while mod none the less.. my mods at the time when i had the chip was CIA, Header and custom exhaust...... in other cars having a chip is 30-50whp in my car it wasnt that much of a gain 15-20 at most

Some cars respond better to chips than others, late model, NA cars don't gain much other than a placebo affect. Turbo engines can be chipped to gain power by raising boost, but often at the cost of reliability.

decibel_dj: was that assesment taken from your "seat of the pants" dyno?
