I'll add your e-mail address to my list of contacts. I am familair with your neck of the woods, I lived in Tualatin up until 10 months ago. Didn't have the 850 then so I don't know any resources down there. I attached a link to a great website that, in the modifications section, has comparative dyno charts for a stock 850 6-spd before and after conforti chips. Dinan's are similar but I've heard they have more low-end grunt and the conforti's have more upper-end.
We'll have to have an 8-series get together at the Malibu Grand Prix track down there.

Thanks for the input David, I guess when you put it that way it makes sense, I guess I just had higher expectations, thats what I get for bench racing all these years! ;-) And yes I could buy an other 850 for the upgrade but I feel inclined to do it as this is the 1st "toy" car I've ever had in my life. I was told $60,000 Canadian or just around $26,700 U.S. I need an SUV of some sort before I do this job so I'm not quite ready to ship it off. So are you up in Washington? I've not met any of my fellow 850 and 40 owners yet so it would be great to have a get to gether here in the North West. What do ya think? Thanks again for the info. it helps answer some questions I've long harbored about H.P. that and watching all those car shows on TNN!
