Post subject:  kenne bell optimizer II chip for liberty
i was wondering if anyone on this board has tried that chip? there is a guy selling his freedom edition that has it and he says it was one of the best investments i ever did on a car. According to the kenne bell site, it dynoed 17rwhp more on a liberty over stock. Just click on the dyno chart, they have a link to it on their page.

the chip isnt available from kenne bell any longer.
i emailed them, and was notified that there was not enough of a market for the chip, so they discontinued the product.

How much was the chip? They want people to send their PCM to them. In the meantime, how do you drive around? You do need the PCM right?

Not that it matters, but i'm kind of confused. They call it a chip, makes me think an add on like the jet chip. Yet you needed to send them your pcm, so is it really a flash.... To answer Tokyojoe's question...you don't, unless you have a second pcm. With your vin programmed into it. And if anybody does get their pcm flashed by B&G or any other shop, i would recommend getting a second pcm. The pcm returned to me by B&G had all the DCX firmware version stickers removed and a big yellow sticker that said among other things "for offroad use only". Unless you have a mod friendly dealership (which mine isn't), throwing the stock pcm is a good idea before sending your kj in for service. The dealership may try to blame it and void the warranty for the work. It also protects against a conscientious tech seeing a tsb out and flashing your new pcm with a stock update; writing over your expensive performance flash.

It also could be a "PROM" chip,which reqiures the disassembly of the PCM to change.

I kind of wonder about the dyno results. They also list headers as adding 6 hp when no headers existed for the 3.7 at that time, and still don't exist for the 2002 they were working with. I would recommend what I did. Get a spare PCM programmed with your VIN and to your sentry keys, and send it to B&G. I know their flash works very well, and they recently dropped the price by $100 to $350. Mine put an extra 37 hp to the ground with the same nitrous and fuel settings back when I was racing.
