So Frank, you've had some more time now to enjoy and drive your car with the Evo ODPS kit on in a variety of driving situations, temperatures etc.....I'm just curious if you still feel this was worth it for the money and if you would do it over again? Anything you wish you had done different (extra i/c reservoir upgrade maybe)? I am sitting on the fence still in regards to getting this upgrade (Either Evo or ASP). Thanks.

You have been on this board long enough to remember me doing the R&D several years ago.
Do a search under "R&D" and you will see what a proper software can do.

So is the Powerchips software is the way to go from the R&D you completed?

Thank you for your reply. Yes the price new is pretty steep in my opinion also.
I would be looking at about $2,000 CND+probably $500 for install so $2,500 CND or more for 30+hp (I hope that’s rwhp). There is also the ASP kit for $900 or so (1,027 CND) for 20 RWHP I am considering also. Either way, I am leaning more and more towards a pulley kit upgrade. I will keep my eye out for a used one. Does anyone regret doing the pulley kit upgrade (Evosport or ASP) for the lack of any real world noticeable difference?

do a search on Vadim's R&D...one of the dyno shows the stock vs pulley only graph. It does gain 32 rwhp on the dyno. You definitely feel the difference btw.
