[QUOTE=DA\_all\_day;2201910]ok… just so i can put this to bed and stop questioning myself, tell me if i have this rite…

1. i use the datalogging cable and crome to get my engine data
2. take the sst chip out of my ecu and put it in the moates burner
3. use the data i got from step 1 and use crome to tune it
4. when im done, burn the file to the sst chip with the moates burner
5. put the chip back in
6. repeat steps 1-5 until perfection and a balance in the universe is reached…

also, i can re-burn the sst chip over and over and over again? correct?[/QUOTE]

Correct!

The chips are eeproms and have a limited amount of writes (similar to flash memory). Don’t worry though, because most chips can be burned ~50 times reliably. Always verify that the chip contains your data. Chrome does this automatically, but in Moates’ flash and burn software this must be done by clicking the button (forgot what it’s called)

Remember to tune VERY small changes at a time.
