Chip

[DRS_LX1]

does anyone know of a good chip out there for the 5.0 liter to make it rev higher and where to buy it? I know about the cobra one but i was looking for something different.

I have heard good things about diablo sport

Check it out at www.diablosport.com (http://www.diablosport.com):D

I went to the website to check it out, but tere was no mention of where to buy those from. Any ideas?

Your right I guess you can't buy anything from there. You will probably have to buy them through a magazine ad or local shop.

After flipping through a couple of mags I did find them advertised at several places, anybody had any expierence with them or some of the other chips ? I'm looking for any kind of feedback on several mods, I have a virgin 93 LX with just an H-pipe, flowmasters and suspension work done to it. The motor is bone stock with 145,000 on it and still kicking hard. I pretty much know which upgrades I want, but there are some many different brands to choose from, and my expierence with Ford is relatively new. (I'm a converted Chevy fan):D

Unless you have a 302 that makes power up in the higher RPM's, why would you want to rev higher? The fuel cutoff on a stock 302 is 6250, and even at that RPM the car isnt pulling.

I just want something that will deliver more power at my peak powerband in the high rpm's. I realize fuel cutoff is at 6250, but i was wondering if there was anyway to chip it so it would still deliver more and more power at higher rpms and not cut off.

I agree with Fordgasm, after 5000 or so RPM you are really not getting that much out of the motor unless you have really hooked the rest of the engine up with better heads, cam profile etc.... I had a Chevy 350 that I used to love to abuse all the way up to 7000 RPM, I had the right combo to take it up there but I didn't do anything to the bottom end. It WAS a real fun motor while it lasted but a little more foresight would have saved me a lot of $$ in the long run.

If anyone is looking to buy a Diablosport chip, they cann be found at http://www.partshopper.com/catalog/itemdisplay/359.html

Thanks dude, I'm about half tempted to get one from them or superchip real soon. Superchip is claiming 18hp and 24lb on theirs, which seems to be real close to the Diablosport claims....decisions, decisions.....
