OMG its a totally different car since the chip. I have driven cars with newjunks chip and one with the autotech chip, and they dont even come close...
Made a much bigger difference than the exh did...
Cant wait till spring for my new suspension and Gonna do cams when I do the headgasket (hope that holds out at least a month...)
Not gonna lower the car so it rides like sh1t, Getting Shine suspension setup, outhandles Coil over cars and rides better than stock...Am a bit dissapointed that its gonna stay so high, but performace is what matters to me( I know ditch the auto, but wife cant drive stick for medical reasons).
SO you guys with the cams, how much more do they than stock?
Lemme know

Re: Got my GIAC chip this morning... WHOA!!! (beach5)

lol yeah seat dyno for now, BUT on Boston perf did dyno test the same chip and got just over 20ftlbs or torque form it and looks like about 15-17 hp...
I am still decideing on what goes faster, my car or the gas guage needle..(chip gave me BAD case of leadfoot constant 80 to 100 runs on highway will do that)
