    who would you go with and why (burned chip)

    I am in the market for a custom ECU, next week I pic up a 91 Spirit R/T with a 8v built motor... I want to get a 3 bar cal, TU is not being considered at this time so I was wondering who else out there would/ could help me and if anybody has any feedback

    It will be a hyrbrid turbo 50'ish trim/.63ar
    big valve head
    NPR IC
    3" exhaust
    +40%
    the usual stuff, car ran a 13.5 @ 105 on 3 cylinders on 19psi (grounded plug wire) so it's got balls but I want to DD boost around 19psi basically make 300whp or so.

    Rob is the man, but I believe he only does the later model calibrations at this time. I got sick of waiting and never hearing from Paul. So I know have Rob's cal and as soon as my burner shows up I will be giving it a try and I will be able to make my own adjustments all the time.

    I would have Rob do one if you did not want to do it yourself. I have elected to modify the public cals that he has out there though. It is really not to bad so long as one is patient.

    Re: who would you go with and why (burned chip)

    Id probably get greedy and have a nice paper weight, besides I am going to get full specs on the motor and possibly even some info on the cal that was for the motor so it shouldn't be too hard. I would rather pay somebody and drop it in than mess around with it, I have other projects that take up my time.

    thanks for the input guys..

    That's Jon's car right? Isn't there already a Donovan 3 bar in it?

    Not right if he's a current vendor. I don't believe he still sells cals.. I never hear him mentioned as an option when people ask.. (Like in this thread) No worse than making a copy of a Maxon cal, or any of the other has-beens.. Or the original MP cals..

    Gary still support any of his previous cals last I heard. People can do whatever they want... it is just the respect that is the biggest thing.

    Re: who would you go with and why (burned chip)

    Yeah.. Not condoning stealing vendors cals.. I usually point vendors towards that kind of activity so they can stop it.. No offense intended.. But this thread is kind of going off on a tangent now, so I'll drop this and let it get back to the original topic..

    yeah, stop crapping in my thread... lol (I don't care)

    made me chuckle so you guys can say what you want.

    I will have all the specs I should need to get a cal made without them seeing the car, besides you can't truly get a good cal made without the person either driving (data logging) your car or it on a dyno with everything hooked up anyway

    Is he on this site? How long does it take? I need a 3 bar cal for my '90 2.5L.

    Wouldn't hurt to have the seller ask Gary for a copy first.

    Re: who would you go with and why (burned chip)

    If he already bought the cal from Gary, than why would it be wrong to copy it? Kind of like buying a CD and burning it for private use. As long as your not selling his work to other people, I dont think its wrong.
