So let me get this straight, 25 hp from the TurboWerks headers and another 18 hp from the Softronic ECU flash ?

If this is true, I know where my bonus money is going this year !

$1700 for 43 hp ???

Take the $1,000 and spend it on gas, hotels and some good meals. You need a road trip, man!

Nick,
I think someone was smoking some serious crack when they came up with those numbers. If it was really true it would be the first time in automotive history that a N.A. car gained 20%hp with chip and headers. 5-10hp has been reported consistently. Let the buyer beware.

I agree, if you get that much more HP for that little everyone would do it. You might be able to get an extra 5+ HP but it doesn't really seem worth it for $1700.
Happy Holidays!
