Who can chip a ECU?

I'm trying to see my options as for ECU's. I was thinking going to with Pettit "unlimited" but I don't think Pettit will be available. I don't want to use M2 because their customer service sucks as I have read. I know the PFC will be my best bet but I want to know my options. I'm not even sure if getting a chipped ECU is available for my set up which is:

v-mount
850's all around
nippondenso fuel pump
intake
dp
mp
cb
full non-seq
and all emission crap removed

I know a lot of people are going to tell me to get the PFC but I want to know who else can do the ECU chipping that has a good reputation beside Pettit

gothamracing can increase the amount of fuel with the stock ecu, but its not suggested, I would just go PFC or similar, If anything you always have the greddy e-manage

no chip ecu for you.

with your mods you need a stand alone. there is no chip ecu that will help you with your fuel set up.

therwise if you want to run stock fuel and limit yourself to 14psi, then you can use the chip ecu.

A remaped ECU will not be specific to any mods (M2 may be an exception). An "unlimitted" Pettit means absolutely nothing and is no better then a limited Pettit. Why? Because the limited version is set to restrict at 1bar which is 100% of the stock fuel systems capability, so unlimited has no benefit even if you plan on adding a fuel management computer which you can do with the limited version and after paying $1600 for both you could have had a tuned PFC instead.

If you didn't have the larger injectors and pump then an upgraded ECU would work. Allthough I think you may have problems with the mid pipe. Basically all they do is change the maps from higher gas milage/cleaner smog to lower gas milage/dirtier smog. Maybe not exactly but it makes my point.

You pretty much have to go with PFC.. with all that mod (V-mount=$$$) and don't want to spend $1100 for PFC?? J/K

But seriously, I think no chipped ECU will run non-seq in perfect order.. also, you would have to put resistors on your solenoids to not read codes.. I say go with PFC.. its good to read all the vital signs....

The change in fuel injectors requires a piggy-back (PFS or E-manage) or a full standalone. As the PFS is much maligned and the E-manage won't do other things you'll want, you are looking at a standalone. The PFC is the cheapest and easiest to install standalone, so there ya go.

I know you said you are J/K but to make your own v-mount ain't that bad.

I was planning on get the PFC anyway but just wanted to see/ learn who else does remapping.
