Just curious. How much power (RWHP) are you anticipating? Where about did you start stock?

My fear! Not only at arrival of the ecu but once that's happened - I'd be thinking about it happening later. My ocd...

Update on the powerchip

Ok, after about an hour on the phone with powerchip, their sending me a new chip. This one allows me to put the chip in or take it out as i please. so. in other words my car will run REGARD lee of everything on friday when it gets back here. Powerchip agrees to pay anyticket i get for leaving my car there when street cleaning rules are in effect. So on saturday i will get 6 dyno runs. the first three will be no powerchip the second, three will be powerchiped. I'll find out how much power i'm getting. I'm trying not to look on the bad side because it will DRIVE ME INSANE. So i'm just trying to be calm.

get back on topic

You are the only person to post anything negative... and you have started 3 or 4 threads with the same title.

Please refrain from wasting the boards bandwidth with this type of one sided illogical posts.

Yes. I am a user of Powerchip software and I found them to be one of the most proffessional companies to deal with (as do many of my my friends)

Your car is too old? fine. Your car has mechanical problems? Fine. But dont try and make argument that Powerchip is not a solid company just from your one limited experience.

Powerchip RULES IMHO!

it's fabrication to portray to folks that your probation stems from your Powerchip outspokeness.

If you read his many posts over the last two or three weeks, you'll see that it likely had nothing to do with his opinion on the Powerchip...

Question: when a member gets banned, is it temporary or permanent?

what i've seen, it's done as a measured response, depending on violation. in
this case, it's only a time out.

Looks like nycw210 is banned also. I'm surprised so much had happened in the last few days, and I didn't get to see all of it until now. In my opinion, he is the kind of poser that's even worse than those people driving regular BMW's, MB's with AMG & M logos on them. What a kid, I can already see his future as a liar & cheater, and from some of his pictures, he surely looks that way.

BTW, you met him at the meet, as did many other members. Does that still stand? I doubt those who were at the meet will agree.
