Pointless really unless you are competing. If you can't hustle a car off the line then you shouldn't really be driving

it won't do sh!!t !
I am thinking you have an M20 powered car? they peak in power a long time before the factory rev limiter does it's job.. it's a waste of money and time a bit like a modded ECU or speed touché "chip" :D

My Engine Was Rebuilt Completely A Month Ago ,
and as I said it has 200+ bhp with the Superchip by pro-Formance .
also it has straight pipes exhaust with a Remus Muffler .
and an electric fan swap . and an OE panel k&n filter .
over Speed 260/5 gearbox , but the rear end is 4.10 LSD .
i guess i'll pay the money on a 3.73 LSD better that the 4.10

That's why i asked if that piece will gain or not .
thanks for the info mate .,
i guess i will never go with that shyte .

I am Not thinking i am making over 200bhp with a chip .
it's Not The Chip .
It the mods with inside the block .
I have a port polished Modified cylinder head , and a full exhaust system .
also why would the dyno Lie .
it was around 204whp - 209whp . On 95 Octane fuel

Still Running Running it on 95 Octane . which is 1 quid a liter here in Jordan .
