I visited a friend who owns ATSPEEDMOTORSPORTS.com( Dinan dealer in Hanover Md) today to have some spacers installed and decided to have him do the Dinan download. Again this is only the 499.00 software not anything else. Overall I'm happy with it. Is it worth $550? well I dont think any software is worth that but its the price so what can you do, plus I get the rebate from Dinan so not so bad. All I will say is that it has made the drivability of the car better. Yeah it says it adds 6 hp but I dont feel it. You can feel the better throttle response, increased revs and no top speed limiter which I dont plan on testing out. My car got a little better MPG so far. It does shift better as the shift points are better placed then the stock setting. I was unable to get on it since it was late afternoon and there was traffic every where. Overall I guess it is simular to teh Sprint booster but with the addition of increased HP and no top speed limiter.
Oh I like the spacers also, got them from Rogue Engineering thanks to Melimel for the recommendation. Car looks stocky aggresive!
I will post pics this weekend.
