Can you chip a car to run on regular instead of premium?

When back home me and a friend ran our own speed shop. I actually built a few of the cars that ran on PInks all out at Rockingham.

I'm 15 minutes from the track, so I was there, LOL. Me and another guy at the shop just finished up a 87 T/A play car. We had no intentions on draging the car, just a street play toy. Mild 383/750 demon and a 2500 stall/3.73. One of his buds races Stang's quite a bit so we took it to the Rock. With ET streets still spining off the line, it can do 11.7@116-117. He got some real slicks and really cut the 60ft. down. With a 125 shot it went 10.9@125, no too bad, LOL. The ole T/A weighs 3350lbs with him in it so we are looking for a Stang. He ordered a race 383, that we could not build out of Jegs any cheaper, so he bite the bullet. His bud has a hatchback 408 that runs 10.1@130 on motor all day long, 2700lbs with him in it. Funny thing is it took $10K to build that 408 and our 383 is half that and should make close to the same power.


I'm all into cars if you didn't notice.

No flashes for the Max's for spark knock, from Nissan.....

A expensive custom tune may work but I would rather pay the extra $4.00 at fill ups.

He bought a Stang that only needs a motor and trans. Already gutted, roll cage, drag wheels/ 10.5" slicks, 8.8 rear. The race motor should be in Sat. and we can order the coversion kit and built turbo 400. This is going to be a sweet car, all I have to find now is a "Powered by Chevy" sticker.

LOL! We are Chevy guys but know we will spend way to much $$$ putting a Camaro or Firebird on a diet so we will start with a lighter car but with a Bowtie powertrain. The best of both worlds, hehe.
