So I purchased a revolution masterchip from someone on ebay for 40 bucks :nice: The person I bought it from seems honest and has 100% positive feedback so I am pretty sure that the chip is in working condition. The chip was originally sold to him as a single tune chip with the horns taken off for EEC clearance, so it appeared not to be anything special. It was also sold to him without a switch to toggle between programs, because he only had one. So now I have a revolution chip for 40bucks. :D To avoid a custom dyno tune which is very expensive :( I brainstormed on ways to get around it. Idea one was to find someone with the exact same mods as me and use whomever they used to burn my chip. I figured this would solve my problem of ordering a chip that didnt have correct A/F or timing. This idea slowly faded, but an even better one came to me. twEECer users create files custom to their applications and the more advanced users have a better understanding of which values need to be changed for different H/C/I combinations. So I found this really nice guy who has a website and he hooked me up with two twEECer files that I took different parts from to blend the two files into a custom tune for me. The two tunes are application specific for all of my modifications. His mods are almost identical. As a base, I am using the J4J1 Cobra calibrations. With the direction of the twEECer tuner I blended the two files. I then found a performance engineer in Canada who does custom calibration twEECer files and burns Revolution chips. I sent him the files and he is going to burn my chip for me. :banana:
It was a ton of organizing but i finally got everything put together. I will post again and let you know if my master plan is :owned: :bang: or fingers crossed :banana: :banana: :banana: and thank you to everyone that helped me along the way! :hail2:
 
Cliff Notes...

The guy bought a chip off eBay for 40 bucks. He got two people to give him Tweecer files and he took bits and pieces of each file to make a "custom" tune. Whenever the consumer is happy, even if they don't know what they are doing, that's all the counts.
