I decided I am gonna buy this and then immediately go to a dyno test and report the results.


If it's minimal gain, I'll return it

Be sure to get a BEFORE/base line dyno!

Dyno numbers can be influenced by everything from calibration variation to the weather to barametric pressure to how tightly the car is held down to tire pressure. If you can't do tests back to back within a few hours on a calm day, you'd need to do some pretty extensive ongoing testing to get answers for sure. Or you'd test two identical unmodified cars at the same time, then modify one and retest them both to get an idea of the variation due to environment/calibration.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Here is their pdf for the 2.7 Boxster if anyone is interested... http://www.powerchipgroup.com/Datasheets/2/Por0038.pdf

I would really like to hear someone's experience with this to see if it is worth it. I wonder if we could get a group buy together to save some money as well.
