Improvements from chips/ECU modifications are suspect at best and normally predicated on running high octane fuel, a shortage of which is apparently already plaguing you in the CR, per your other post. I suspect this would be a monumental waste of money in addition to any flack you'd get from Porsche per 1JB's post.

Porsche has taken the same 2.7 mill that originally produced @217 hp and have managed 8 years later to get 245 hp out of it. Frankly, I think they've pretty much wrung ever hp out of it and the 3.2. Note that to get 15 more hp into the S they actually ended up bumping the displacement (not the only reason, but you get the point).
