Re: Performance Chips

What else has been done to the car? Don't bother with a chip until you do other mods.

The sellers have a product to move ,the test results they achieve under "optimum" conditions you most likely will not see in the real world.
If you did there, according to the sellers ,there is 200hp to be gained with $20 bolt-ons from eBay

Re: Performance Chips

once you get the car built, I would get a custom chip cut from Brian, who is here on the boards. He can make accomodations for fuel/altitude/mods, etc. He does good work.
