US cars are 130 MPH unless it's an AMG, then it's 155 MPH.

Mods

So should you do the other modifications first, then get the chip or get the chip and then the other modifications?

CLKVegas - What have the Evosport pulleys actually done for your performance and how much did cost to get them installed?

I had the same problem with Powerchip in Australia (did you know that's where Powerchip, the company comes from?) My E430 performed measurably worse after the Powerchip - 0.5 sec slower to 0-60 etc! They removed it, restored to original and refunded the money without any issues.

haters crazy
Ghostrider- I would get my other mods done before the chip. If your not going to do anything major then dont even worry about it. I think the only things that would need reprogramming is supercharger,intake, headers, pulleys, and maybe exhaust. Hope that helps. I also heard that the pullies do nothing for a 430, thats why I dont have them, UNTIL someone dynoes a before and after and actually documents an increase.
