Also agree that the final orders must include ECU number, gas requirement, and mods if applicable (possibly at extra cost if not an existing chip option). A one size fits all approach will surely leave some disappointed.

Just kidding...due to his sponsor status and regular "helping hand" at the 993 forum...I'd be in for Steve's chip...95 C2
I'd like to have more info on the midrange (the most fun power ) gain though...after all, 3hp is not enough to pull Santa's sledge...
Hey Freddy...what did you feel after chipping your 95???

I passed along a message that I received from Steve to Ron who is coordinating the group buy. Steve is interested in working with the group. I like Steve's chip because his dyno data is based on 91 Octane fuel from California. 91 Octane is available country-wide. Most fuel is of a higher quality than that sold in CA because of the strict emission standards in CA so the chip should work nicely. Pete

"I like Steve's chip because his dyno data is based on 91 Octane fuel from California. 91 Octane is available country-wide."
So, where are these "dyno data", perferably in "before & after" tests?
Or are we to assume the typical measure, i.e. "Oh, it does "feel" better"?
Please, don't hold your breath!

my preference is the GIAC chip. I have the 93 octane chip from Steve. The 93 Octane chip produce 3 hp on a dyno, but it smoothened out the power curve nicely as compared to the autothority and stock chip. I have a '95 so smoothing out the power curve is really nice.
From what i've been told a custom map can gain you far more hp, but there is very limited gains unless one runs higher octane gas.
In my case, i run a mixture of 91 and 100 and i get it to equal to about 93.5.
Cheers,
Boris

More hyperbole!
So what does a "custom" do when all that's done is additional timing advance in all performance
chips and most/all have NO real engine mods, e.g. bigger P/Cs, different intake system, and/or
etc. requiring a possible fuel tweak?

i'm not a chip tuner, but there is more than just timing advance....

That's it! It's all in the timing. It's very simple:
More air "in" = More fuel "in" = More energy "out" (torque)
More fuel "in" & no more air "in" = Wasted fuel "out"

we get 94 octane up here in Montreal canada (the government encourages performance). when u say Stves chip was tested for 91 octane, does this mean the results are atleast the same if not better for 91 octane and up (to 94)?
