MAC Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have searched for performance chip options and the only one I see that may be worth looking into is the Surge Performance Chip. I remember domesticperformance.com (which is no longer around) had a performance chip which costs about $250 (from what I remember) and it was advertised as being programmable to some degree. The low price of the Surge Chip tends to lead me to believe that it could be a gimmick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardio-doc Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ed Wright (FastChip) made a GREAT chip for my 1994 Eldorado. Otherwise stock, the car ran 14.9's which I thought was terrific with an early Northstar motor. This was not an ETC and it had the 270hp motors. cheers, ~Doc --- Direct Performance on Ebay CaddyInfo.com Cadillac Conversations Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the chip give you better or worse gas mileage? Overall, do you think the chip is worth it? It looks like Fastchip is still willing to make one for the '94 Eldorado and I might be inclined to buy one but it depends upon what I get.

clarkz71 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have a fastchip in my 95 Eldo, works great. Speed limiter removed and a more responsive. They claim 12 hp increase which I believe. Cost last January was $149. Chip comes programed, fuel mileage same or better. Definitly worth it.

jfreezn Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 anybody know of a performance chip for a 94 sls, im trying to eliminate fuel cut off at 112mph...ya i know dont ask...lol You might consider changing out the PCM, which has the prom that limits speed based on the original tires installed by the factory. I have one for sale out of a 93-94 STS which had the Z rated tires. I put this PCM in my 94 ETC, just for a test, and went 134 MPH before I ran out of road. $100.00 plus $8 for priority mail. email me at jfreezn@aol.com Jim in Phoenix Jim in Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might include, bigger stabilizer bars and whatever else do you guys think? At the higher speeds your suspension needs a tweak IMHO Does anyone know what if any differences there are besides the tires and PCM?

MAC Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 anybody know of a performance chip for a 94 sls, im trying to eliminate fuel cut off at 112mph...ya i know dont ask...lol I emailed Ed Wright of Fastchip and here is his response: Hello Michael, GM stopped selling new chips for those. The only way I can do one is to have one to erase and re-program. I did one for a gentleman from Arkansas last week, had to erase and reprogram his original. If you can find one at a salvage, etc, I could re-do that one and you would still have your original. Since you would have to provide a stock Memcal, it would cost $125.00 + freight. Thanks, Ed I sent Mr. Wright another email and advised him that I can buy an ACDelco PROM at autopartsgiant.com and he responded giving me the thumbs-up. So I just bought a new PROM and will forward it to him for programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkz71 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Here's a link to the thread on Cadillac owners forum, the "guy in Arkansas" that Ed did the chip for. He gained 15 hp to the wheels (230 hp to 245 hp). http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/north...tml#post1229367 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
