please note the chip it replaces. this is NOT the chip in over 90% of the cars.
also, if this is the same chip as was made a number of years ago, i spoke with steve dinan myself about it, prior to doing my chip shootout test. he was very helpful, but told me not to expect those results. this chip may be new, and it may make great gains, and certainly after doing some correcting math, it is within the realm of possibility, but buyer beware. i'm a bit leery about the fact that it says it was on 91 octane (as measured in the US) but all attempts to get that kind of gain in the past required 93. i'd have to see A/F graphs to know better.
here is where dyno results can be misleading. the numbers don't line up. even the mention in the text about a 28hp gain is only shown as 27 on the charts. further, please note that the numbers shown for stock are NOT what we know them to be. also, it's odd that the peak hp number is what we know it to be, but the rest of the curve is oddly higher, leading you to have a mathematically larger peak gain. the rest of the numbers are 4% high across the board. so, that 263hp peak goes down to 252. other numbers would be similarly reduced. also, they are obviously "correcting" for what they think drivetrain loss to be, but do not mention how they got there. they should have just shown what it was before and after, at the wheels, and leave it at that.
caveat emptor, but the company has a great rep, it is possible to get more than we have seen before, and as long as you have a car with the right chip in there to begin with, it could work.
