FPR Shim and 10K mod

[taylorking]

then how do you do this on an OBS????????????

10k mod seems worthless if you have a chip. The chip adjusts the ICP so why would you want to mess with the tuning? You don't see the 400+hp guys running a DP tuner(or TW, DI, Elite, etc) and banks 6-gun...which is pretty much an adjustable 10k mod like you're talking about..

What if i wanna make it lope though, i could use the resistor to do that even if i have a chip.

[sirnunya]

get a lope tune on your chip, or when you order the chip say you want it to lope in some tunes at idle.....

Hm, retard moment for me.

I thot dp and tw is more than just an icp connection???

Its installed in the pcm and changes a bunch of diff things. The edge ez is more like a 10k which plugs directly into the icp...this is just my thinking. correct me if wrong

[sirnunya]

TW and DP are. they change a lot of things, including ICP...
the banks 6-gun is the 10k type mod...

[Jake]

What exactly does a TW chip change, obviously ICP readings and shift points, what else, is that it?

I can experiment to my hearts desire with this baby!

When I did my 10K mod a couple years ago, I think I used a 1/2 watt resistor. Looking at these, there are 1/8 watt and 1/4 watt resistors.

Does anyone know what the difference is?

I tried a 10K Ohm resistor and the truck shook hard, but ran pretty good down the road. throttle was overly touchy. I didn't have access to an 18K Ohm, but I got a 22K Ohm and it is much smoother, with just a tiny puff of black. Definitely more throttle response. Somewhat messes with the tranny I think, and throttle is still touchy, but it obviously has more power. instead of shoving the wires down into the ICP plug I skinned both wires just slightly, exposing the wires, and slipped the resistor wires down inside tightly, and taped it up. now i need to throw the bb in the fpr and see what happens. i'll only do this until I can call DP Tuner and get the chip, and install guages.
