Aftermarket Ford ECU chips
Does anyone know of a good company that has aftermarket modified ECU or ECU piggyback chips for Ford vehicles? Chike, maybe???
My dad has a 2002 Ford Ranger - SOHC 4.0 liter V6. I was hoping to help him get an aftermarket chip for some more power (and possibly remove the electronic governor, as well). This thing only puts out about 210hp and 240ft/lbs, which IMHO isn't enough for 4.0 liters. It is also governed at 90mph. If it works out well, he would like to see if a similar chip would be available for my mom's 1989 Ford Bronco 5.0 liter. |

not sure how well they actually work
but check with
www.jetchip.com and search around for Superchip and maybe Hypertech now and see what they are offering. My brother has a 94 4.0 ranger......we never bothered with a chip, but we did do some other mods to it that seemed to be worthwhile. Chips usually work best if you already have a better airfilter and muffler too.

Deruvian,
When I owned my Lightning, the most popular chip used was the DiabloSport Chip: http://www.diablosport.com/ However, they only make chips for the 5.4L and 4.6L Ford modular V8's. I also think they only offer chips for the '97 and newer Ford cars/trucks... That being said, besides the tuner that Dayle recommended, I would also suggest Superchips: http://www.superchips.com/ They would make a chip for both your dad's '02 Ranger and mom's '89 Bronco. Good luck! -Chike

SuperChips
I'm going to have one installed in my SVT Focus as soon as I can afford it. Focus Fanatic magazine gave them a rave review.
