i'm helping my buddy swap my engine into his 97 GT. we are just going to install my entire PI engine plus comp cams 274 cams and some LT's.

we need to tune the car but he doesnt have a lot of cash to blow on an xcal 2. we are looking into a used sct chip for his tune. does anyone know of a sct "blue chip"?

i have a guy that has one for sale but i dont know anything about it.

will it be good enough to tune his car with??

i'm not looking for a tune that will work on the car. just something so we can retune the car once the cams are in

The blue chips are NOT SCT chips, they are Superchips, Inc. chips. They cannot be reburned. You need either a red SCT chip or the newest green circuit board SCT chips. Be careful with used ones too - because I've seen some that people wanted me to reburn, and they were hosed - could not be reburned. The other thing is consider price - for example we sell new chips with up to 4 programs and cables for $269 - if you buy a chip for $100-150 used, you still have to hope it's Ok and then pay to have an SCT dealer reburn it - and most used ones I have seen do not come with the cable. Not much of a savings overall.
