At Laguna Seca, why shift into 4th when you are already 4/5 of the way down the main straight?

AKA 968 Novice
Do you think the extra RPM with this chip would help with that?

Arin - what is the rev limit raised to? I had the problem Yogii is experiencing at the track I frequent. I carried so much speed through1 and 2 that I was having to shift mid corner before the car settled. At another track, I'm to the end of my raised limit before I brake for 8. With no RPM bump, I would be having to do a quick upshift followed by an immediate downshift. So IMHO, Yogii definitely needs a raised rev limit.

Yogii - you get to run Laguna Seca? I'm jealous...

Hello APR

For 300 dollars this is an easy choice for me. I had Dinan products on My BMWs and APR on my Audi's and have always thought they were top flight. Now I just completed a complete refresh of my 968 mechanicals, over 15k on a sub 60k mile example. Do you think I should wait a bit before installing?

Also, the example that posted those numbers on the dyne graphs, what other modifications did it have?

Thank you

The dynoed car was otherwise stock. I think if you just did a nice refresh on the car, put a few miles on it to make sure everything is sound, and then you'd be good to proceed with the chip.

Thank you!
