I put the Dinan chip in my car and it has pleased me. It give you 326 hp @ 5200 and 358 ft/lb @ 4500. Increase of 27 hp and 14 ft/lb over stock. I didn't do the trans chip as I just put it into sport mode when I need a little extra oomph. I also replaced the airbox w/ short cone filters and freed up the exhaust w/ a DTM muffler. Don't know the HP gains from these mods, but it sure sounds great. Next step is to extrude hone the intake runners. I'm still contemplating this step @ it is very costly and your car will be down until the runners come back.

probably chipping it is the best thing you can do first, then maybe exhaust and intake (not sure if you can do that on v12's)


Any suggestiuns as to who's chipto use and $? and how easy is the installation?
