OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHyeah!!! Dinan says it takes the HP from 256hp to 298hp. It is QUITE noticeable. Although, running on 87 octane makes the car seem like I don't have the chip. I guess I'm answering my own question reguarding the fuel but I just wanted other's oppinions.

Thanks John

87 M6


: : I just had the chip installed a week or 2 ago and heard its OK to run 87 octane gas with it. Has anyone had any bad experiences with this combo??

: : Thanks

: : Tom
: : 87 M6

: I have watched this site for a long time and have been helped many times by the information provided!

: However, when it comes to a 10 to 15 thousand dollar M engine, I would call Dinan directly before using 87 octane gas in an M6, chip or no chip!

: Just my 2 cents.

: John

: P.S. are the perfomance gains noticible with the chip?
