1999 Black/Black C43
Serious C43 Modifications???

Hi. I'm a new poster but a long time reader of this forum. I own a 1999 Black/Black C43. Are there any worthwhile mods for this car (by worthwhile I mean not paying $16k for a supercharger)? Is there something in the $2500 range? I read eurorides420 past message aboutt he mods he had done and was planning to do to his 43 but it seems everyone disagreed with his performance projections. I'm thinking maybe a chip would be a good start... has anyone installed and dyno'd a chip on their 43? I know all the companies that make them but do any of them work??? What else could I do to increase performance??

Thanks for any help,

Matt

1998 C43
Matt:

I have a 98 C43 and am also looking into chip tuning. As far as I know there three chip companies that tune a C43. They are Upsolute, Powerchip (AUS), and Evosport. I am in the process of gathering dyno results and they seem to put about 20hp and 20lbs to the C43's output. I'm not too sure which company to go with, but I think their numbers are in the same ballpark. Right now I'm looking into customer service, and small details like that. The price range is about $400 (upsolute) to $1100-1500 (evo). You will want to concider if the chips are programable for future upgrades you may want.

Keep me posted on your findings and I'll do the same. Good luck.
