For between $1000 to $1200 you can get maybe @20hp from an ECU upgrade....either Powerchip or Kleemann, not that much hp gain for the money you have to spend. I know this!!

If you really want power go for a Kleemann Stage 1, 2, 3, or 4...but be prepared to spend close to the purchare price for the vechicle for the extra HP. Kleemann Stage 1, I was quoted @$12,000 last year.
