I think someone needs to create a wiki, a page on why they think chips are bad, and a page for why they think chips are great...

I have to agree that all these crazy claims of 25% increases from the change of a chip is getting out of hand:

Lorenfb,

please, use your time to study instead of writing nonsenses...!
And, by the way, I don't promote ANY product!!!

Default steve wong Chip and other doubts

I don't understand at least 75% of what you write, not to say 90%, but I still enjoy reading it... By the way i just ordered a SW chip in the search of my perfect 964 CS

I am thinking on RS sway bars to improve turn in response, I have a European C2. Should i change the front one to 24 mm and also the rear one or it should it be ok if i leave the rear stock bar...


Thanks to all.

I would only change the rear swaybar to the thinner 18 mm from RS/CUP fro street use. It gives you more traction in the rear. Only a 24 mm in the front will increase undesteer.

I have no dog in this fight, but I tend to prefer the Implied Face Palm, rather than the somewhat more widely used General Purpose Face Palm. :-)

Entertaining, lots of irrelevant mumbo jumbo to guise oneself as an expert.

Quite the contrary. When one side of the ignition fails to ignite, the effect is the same as if you retarded the overall ignition timing by 7-9 degrees, which makes the engine even less prone to knocking, NOT make it occur. The only effect you get is a reduction of 20 hp on a 3.6 because of the reduced net ignition timing. Proof? Disconnect one of the ignition modules under the ignition coils and take a test drive and see how much the engine knocks - or actually doesn't. Better yet, connecting a PST2 or PIWIS will display a zero knock count. In fact dyno testing shows when running only on one coil, the ignition timing must be further advanced by another 5-6 degrees to get anywhere near the knock margins of the factory programming.

Failure to understand these very elementary principles of the combustion motor only serves to show that . . . you basically have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

"Have fun"
Yeah, what Steve said.

Right, so now one needs to use 93 octane which has very limited availability.
Does 93 octane gasoline have "very limited availability" in other parts of the country??
I can find it ALL OVER THE PLACE here in Virginia...although getting up towards $4 again.

"Jeff, shh... Don't poke it with a stick, I think it's dead..."

Funniest thing I've read so far!!!!!

I can't help thinking it's laying dormant and could explode again!

So is a group buy on the cards?
