By the way any way to drop the power seat down an inch it's bottom'd out now.
Anyway onto the subject. Just did an in-town micromileage drive and got 18.5 MPG on first tank. Checked into performance chips and was these things on Ebay. Basically sounds like a resistor to change parameters on the air/fuel mix or perhaps changing auto shifting RPM. They say it gives 4-5 MPG more and up to 17 HP increase. What's the deal here? Anyone know anything about these things. Are there actual chips out there for these Cruisers to actually do this? Used to have a GN and the basic performance chip just changed the gearing shifts to hit the gears quicker and adjust turbo boost.
Can't wait to tinker with this Cruiser a bit. Focusing on the exterior/interior first. Going for the total blackout look. Looking through this Forum the transmissions seem a little sketchy, any PM to avoid the problem?

4-5 more mpg! 17 more hp! Snake oil. I wish it was that easy. All the resistor does is advance the timing. Does nothing for faster auto shifts.
This is the only chip I've heard PT owners being happy with.
