<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I talked to them about it at SEMA a bit. It sounded like it should be coming out early this year. Maybe I'll have to give them a call and see what the scoop is. I'm about ready to buy a chip but this would definately be better... Anybody have any info to add?

Oh hell yea! I will buy one!

wtf. i got a diablochip maybe 4 months ago, under the impression that this programming is compatible with it.

*sigh*

Uh, does this give the tuning capability into the hands of the customer?

 

[LITE2LITE]

people with similar mods could swap tune programs via e-mail. however useful still sounds cool.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">hehe, wanna bet that it doesn't? Still, I guess it's better than the regular chips.

Hhhhmm, the spedometer change to compensate for tire diameter changes is something I never really thought about...are other chips able to do this too? I would presume so.

I e-mailed yesterday to find out the status of the Ford application and got this...

The Predator for the Focus will be about 4 more months. Development is coming along a little slower than expected.

Edited to fix a weird formatting thing.

You can adjust the speedometer to the desired tire size when you hook the car up to the official service computer...
