Question by Levi K: Can you chip cars like you can chip diesel trucks?
So I know alot about cars, and alot of my friends have “chipped” their diesel trucks, as my dad just did his 08 duramax, he had the option to turn it to 110 HP, which is crazy to me……I know that the basic idea is to trick the air/fuel mixture? so it runs leaner or richer? correct me if im wrong….So I want to know why diesel engines are so easily modified, while i have never seen a chip on a gas truck or a car…I have an 01 stratus r/t with 3.0 mitsu engine in it, I want to know if there is a chip I can put in this? thanks

Chipping a car isn’t about putting a chip in. The chip is the engine management computer. When you chip it, you re-program the computer to change the engine settings, usually to give more power or remove some of the limiters.

yes, you can chip petrol engines the same as diesels (assuming they’ve actually got a reprogrammable engine management computer in the first place).
