Hey all...I got a question about the performance computers. They say for manual trans only. Ok.here's my question...If the automatic transmission is not computer controled then why wouldn't it work?

 

Also, has anyone done the JET reprogram kit where you send your computer and a list of what's been done to Jet and they Reprogram it..

 

that jet chip is crap....either the mopar pcm or the af/x pcm for the neons. i think u have to have a switch running from your torque converter since you have an auto...correct me if im wrong....

 

It will work on the car will run fine, but the manual PCM's won't activate your lockup torque converter on your auto tranny. This will create heat and burn up your tranny. Heat is a big no-no for the tranny.

You can still use one, but you will either have to hook up a switch to activate the torque converter or just run a tranny cooler (good idea anyway, for an auto).

 

ok the web sites that sell a/fx computers they say to gain like 30-40 horses. does anybody have this computer and what do they really give you in performance gains

 

Well, that was what I needed to know. The cooler is going in soon anyway but, I guess I'l 5 speed it someday ...hehehe

 

30-40 HP from bone stock with a bunch of modifications, the computer only with no other mods you might gain 3-4

 

AF/x street/strip is comparable with the Mopar Performance PCM, but the AF/x is better than the Mopar and can add up to 7-10 HP on a stock engine and even more with a header added.

 

I am looking to by a comp. chip for my stock 97 DOHC. Is there anything else that I need? Or would the comp chip work?

 

There is no computer chip for the neon. The neon's PCM is NOT reprogrammable with chips. You have 3 choices, Mopar PCM, AF/x Street.Strip PCM or AF/x Race PCM.

Stay awy from Jet and ebay resistors.
