    SCT 4-POS CHIP flip on the fly?

    This bit of info was completely new to me. Perhaps it will be new to some of you as well.

    For years I had always been under the impression that if one had a flip chip, be it 2 bank, 4 bank, whatever....one needed to turn the car off to change bank selections via the switch.

    See, I have 4 positions to choose from. Occationally I would have the urge to switch from my daily driver app, to my street NOS tune while I was on the road. More specifically, sitting at that red light and out of the blue a ramped up Nissan Skyline pulls up next to me.

    I used to blow off such situations, or, embarrassingly turn off the car, fumble with the switch, and re-start the car in the position I needed to be in to arm the NOS tune.

    I recently learned from Lidio that as long as all banks are full on the chip, one can switch tunes while the car is running. He has the idle kick up a bit when I select #3, as a verifying sound that I hit the right tune. How lovely to just keep the NOS tank valve open, and be able to flip from my aggressive street tune to a slightly tuned down NOS tune on the fly, at will, anytime.

    The only kink in this scenario for me is:
    My switch has like six positions. I can still flip on the fly, but if I flip to one of the non-existent positions, the car dies. That's no good at a stop light, but very handy as a secret kill switch.
    I need a switch with on 4 positions. My eyesite aint what it used be.

    One of my drivers has a F-350 with a flip chip and all his power settings are set up so he can increase his boost and power by turning to the right. His valet and antitheft mode are on the far left. He can select between any of his 5 settings on the fly.

    I always heard that you could burn up the chip with the car running while changing. I guess I heard wrong. I would be interested in somthing like that. It would be nice. But I dont mind driving with the nitrous tune. Runs better than I thought it would without the juice.
