[V8] Chips - Chip testing

[Tim Hollister]

Made up a chip last night, installed it this morning.. put about 20 miles on it today, impressions
so far:

*NOTE* this is in a 90 auto with a bad O2 sensor.

Smoother idle
Better power band with more low end pickup and less "jump" as you hit the torque band
smoother power delivery over the whole band.

will post more impressions as I run it.
