For best mileage/idle/etc.

Run the stock p30...

I had a "can tuned" higher rev/launch control/etc....p28 in my last b16 coupe and it ran better with the stock one.

It even started to spit/sputter right before I got rid of it...I put the p30 back in and didn't have the problem anymore.

Run the damn P30 already. You were told this in your last thread. And there is no such thing as a "performance ECU".

Right. In his other thread he was advised to either get the proper ECU for his engine or get a better basemap for his chipped ECU. Now he's in here asking the noob question about what is "best".

If you're going to ask the same question, just worded differently, over and over, expect the same answers from the same people who's patience with you will wear thin real real quick.

p30. there is no best.
without a tuning program then actual tuning could you ever make it "performance".
and if its stock just put it in there and stop touching stuff.

Wouldn't it be easier to just ignore people that have questions that are annoying to you?? Damn near every post I see you in, rarely has anything helpful to people asking for help. You just down talk them and tell them to search or post in the right spot. I understand your tag says, "the grumpiest" but dang give people a break rather than go out of your way to put them down. I realize your post counter is in the 11k range, but how many of those posts is you actually helping those seeking it?? Not trying to down your knowledge or anything, but share it if you have it. It's easier to type a simple reply to a question then to go out of your way just to tell someone to do a search.

"The grumpiest" is "grumpy" because people do things they are incapable of doing without the necessary knowledge needed to do the task, i.e, rim fitment, suspension upgrades, and most imoportantly engine upgrades. It doesnt even begin to make sense to swap an engine if you know nothing about how it runs and what it needs to run, I'm not kissing *** here but its annoying. Which is best for this or that questons get annoying. Thats what these forums are for, but if people would just search or research before doing something to their own car it would save everyone the headache of arguing and constanly asking the same questions over and over.

OP no stock ECU is a "performance" ECU. and with performance you lose mpg and reliability in most cases. Have the P28 moderatly tuned and go from there.

What does any of this have to do with the topic? He was already instructed what to do in another thread and started this one to ask the same exact question but rephrased. As if what he was told previously wasn't even said.

What ECU is in it and how do you know it's actually chipped?

either way use phearable.net good place.
So it's okay for people to post needlessly? I didn't tell him to search sir. You have me confused.

I'll say only this. If you have a problem with me personally, or anything I say in the forums either PM me or report it to a mod. But keep it out of the forums. For someone that's been here longer than most you should know that much.

^^^Waste of a post. Did he not just say someting about unnecessary posts?

OP, get a tunable ECU and have a slight tune put on the engine. Please do not make another thread worded differently about the same topic. your question has been answered in two threads now. i havent been here long but im already seeing why HT gets such a bad rep.

Use an ECU from a '02 Corvette. It's plug and play.






LOL just kidding...
