There is an in depth article in the June issue of 911 & Porsche World Magazine from the UK. You can get it at most Borders stores. It fetures and interview with REVO and their products and techniques. As you can see by my dyno sheets there is not a lot of HP to gained by getting your car chipped. At least not if it is naturally aspirated. The big gains are for the turbos where they can adjust the boost. If you look at my dyno though you will see that the tourque curve is very flat and I think the car runs much more aggressively especially in the lower gears. I did a DE at Mid Ohio 3 weeks ago and the car seemed to run a lot better than at my first DE. Could be a placebo effect though. With the REVO Select I can change the settings myself on a laptop and upload them. At my DE tomorrow I am leaving the trottle at 9 and bumping the timing to up to 5 (or 6) and the air/fuel to 9 since I will be running 94 octane. We'll see how she does.

Steve: You should call your GIAC dealer and ask what he set the parameters to. When mine left the REVO dealer they set it for optimized 91 octane which is almost the same as how it is configured from the factory. ???? I didn't really notice much of a difference either at first. I always run at least 93 octane and I noticed a difference after I got it home and reprogrammed it myself. If you always run 93 octane you should tell them that th

chaudanova: Thanks for posting that dyno. It's nice to have something similar to base it against. Was yours a 3rd gear run like mine? I'm curious because mine is so much flatter when compared to yours.
