UpSolute Chip in Normally Aspirated Car
Has anyone had an UpSolute chip installed in a normally aspirated car? How were your results? I am considering having my E430 chipped, but can only really find people with turbo cars that have had this done.

UPSOLUTE
YES,UPSOLUTE does make a program for your car BUT it will NOT be a BIG GAIN like cars with SUPERCHARGERS about 12HP GAIN
CONTACT your local UPSOLUTE dealer for the dyno results
but throw in a good air filter/rear muffler for a DECENT GAIN
Good luck

Chimpware :
It's not worth the money, to go for a chip on a aspirated engine,
look at my 2 replys at " Sprewells 55 in this forum.
you could go for such a solution, then it's not needed to solder
in your ECU. It's exactly the same what is changed in both cases, the ignition timing will be changed, and a little fuel will be added.
Just give you car EU specs in the ECU, and you will have the same result as putting in a absolute chip, to a fraction of the price.
If you a going for a real performance car, install a KLEEMANN SC.

Octane Number in Europe
Lucas,
Are you sure regarding comments you have made about octane number in Europe. There are 2 types of octane numbers, Research and Motor. In the US reported pump numbers are average of the 2. In Europe it is common to report Research only. As such 95 Research is equivalent to about 91 average (re. US) number. In some stations in the US you can buy 93 (Shell) octane fuel which should be about equivalent to 97-98 ROZ.
