    question about maft+ versions (4.0 vs 5.2) (Ramchargers is so cool!)

    What is the problem with running a maft+ version 4.0 on our cars?

    Seems like some people had a possible ignition interference problem crop up around 5000 rpms?


    Ramchargers tells me they can send me an updated chip. Will it easily install on the board? (i.e. no soldering?)

    I think the chips are ZIF.. just pull one out and insert a new one.

    I doubt ramchargers would send you a chip that needs to be soldered in.

      Sounds good.

      Ramchargers just wrote back saying the interference problem was only on the Corvette...

        &gt; Mike,
        &gt;
        &gt; Does the chip slide out of a socket,
        &gt; or does it have to be soldered onto the board?
        &gt;
        &gt; How much for the upgrade chip?
        &gt;
        &gt; Thanks,
        &gt; John
