jus got it in and took it to work today...i can feel a difference, the car seems to shift smoother for some reason, the power band smoother too, there are a lot less flat spots when accelerating, i deff feel more power and torque
i had wanted to get over the 155mph mark b/c the top speed limiter was removed but i ran out of highway lol and traffic was a bitch earlier, but still had some fun
i would recommend if anyone is thinking powerchip to do it now while the price is 490+shipping instead of the regular price of 1490 or 1100...the shipping for me was $110 total for fedex overnight to cali,i believe there are less expensive slower options i sent it out last thursday, they received it friday and had it back to me by monday, so im guessing it would be quicker during the week...
