Chris ? Were you at Alice's in Woodside Saturday ?! I was taking a nice drive on Skyline and saw a bunch of P-cars gathered, so I stopped by briefly.. I talked to one of the guys with the group of 944s that were there and he brought up your name asking me if I know you. I did not see any other 968s, so I guess I missed meeting you. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/sad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />[/quote]
I was there and saw you drive up. You didn't hang around very long. I have a black 968, but I was driving miata that day. In a span of about 15 minutes we saw a 914 with a chevy engine, you , and a yellow carrera GT. I'm sure we'll get a chance to meet at some point.
Your car looked great BTW.

The alarm module is mounted to a metal frame that also holds the car's DME module. The bottom line is that if you get to your alarm module, you've done 75 percent of the labor to do a DME chip swap. For $150 and another 30 minutes in labor, you can swap the chip and get 10-15 more hp and 10-15 more ft-lbs of torque. Those are real-world numbers. Getting at the DME is the hardest part of the job and you will have done that by exposing the alarm module.
Just thought you might want to consider this.

Thanks for the info. I'm not changing out anything to try and maintain reliabillity. This is basically a track car and the interior is gutted so if I decide to get a chip in the future it will be a short job. And I'd rather extract that speed out of better driving than my wallet. It's great fun keeping up with cars that have 100-150 more HP!
