Hello Eveyone,
I know I'm a little slow to the party, but would like be able to break my tires loose too! I am not in it to go really fast. I just want to make people think I can go fast. I've recently gotten back into my Volvo. Hadn't been really driving it for years. The Transmission was shifting really, really late. I talked to a couple transmission shops and they were ready to rebuilt the whole transmission. I wasn't ready to bite the bullet. Good thing too. I read that most people changed the TV cable. I honestly didn't see anything wrong with it. Even with the pan off it looked fine. But I had already bought the cable. Changed it anyway. Spent $20 on a cable and did a much needed service. It has never shifted like it does now. Perfectly!
I've been doing a lot more reading on chipping. I have a 560 stock ecu, and haven't found the ignition computer yet to get the info off of it. Correction - found it - 0 227 400 149 and 3517360 is it's designation. Do you think I can get what I want with just chipping? I'm not looking for 300hp. I don't want to loose low end. What I want is to improve it. Just a little more fun off the line. I was hoping that the Lostartof chips were still available. I'm here for direction..... I've been reading for days. And I really don't want to change any hardware if I can get away with it.
Thx,
Marcello
