Subject:ECU costs

I am back from being out of town.

**If you go to Yellowstone Park, look out for "Free Range Cattle" signs.  I
was two feet from totaling a rent a car with a black Angus steer playing in
the middle of the road in the pitch black night.  (The ford Taurus bright
lights are not too bright)

The total cost for

1 chip              $450.00 Aussie @0.59 equals    USD $265.00
10 chips       $3500.00 Aussie     @0.59 equals    USD $2065.00
to be mailed to

Freight and Insurance $90.00 Aussie or @0.59 equals USD $53.00 for the 10
chips

one chip would be approx $15.00 Aussie or @0.59 equals  USD 9.00

so USD $274.00 for 1 chip  or
USD $2118.00 for 10 chips OR $211.8 each plus shipping to you in US

I have seven buyers with five more interested.

I have asked David for more info about the chip.

Any more want the chip.

**I can even install the chip in your ECU if you do not want to for a small
cost.

I will pass any info on as I get it.

**I think that if you add the chip and drive normally there will not be a
decrease in mileage.  The longer you have to hold the throttle down, the
lower the mileage.  The chip should get you to speed faster decreasing the
time you need to hold the pedal down.   But if you add the chip and start
trying to race every one, then you mileage will go down.

Remember I added a bigger cam and other modifications to increase airflow and
power and increased my mileage...
