  • How does a Performance Chip work?

    Performance Chip & Car Tuner - Chip Your Car - Lincoln ChipsOur Performance Chip works by sending a constant signal through your factory data sensor in your engine that your engine control module (ECM) monitors. This signal triggers the factory ECM to optimize the fuel mixture and timing curve to a more efficient balance. This piggy-back system is one of the safest and easiest performance enhancers available, leaving no trace of footprint behind. Time-tested and proven, our performance chips are guaranteed to provide results.

    “Tuning Chip” that charge only a few dollars do not include the necessary programing: Those are NOT Chip Your Car Performance Chip.

  • How do you install the Performance Chip?

Total installation time is typically 60 seconds or less! After driving the initial 150 miles to allow total programming, your vehicle will be running with optimal performance and power.

     No mechanical experience or special tools are required. Technical support is available at 763.370.2746

While a loss of any vehicle warranty has never happened as a result of the installation of one of our performance chip products, Chipyourcar.com will not be held responsible for loss of warranty.  It is recommended to remove the module prior to service, further avoiding potential issues or misunderstandings with the dealer, and protecting your warranty.
