I'm with you, Randall. I bought my 986 so that I could make it MINE. It's not an investment, it's a hobby/lifestyle. I'm going to spend money on a hobby somewhere...might as well be the car.
As for the chip, I just purchased the Softronic software for $710 (it also included Durametric!). My main reason for the software is to richen up my mixture after adding headers/cat deletes/intake. I'll let you know how it goes.
FWIW, without the chip, the car dyno'ed at 225RWHP, but was leaning out at almost 15:1
