This man is a legend, came to my local chav clubs rolling road day and chipped my 325 while he was there.

Very happy with the results of the chip, showed a slight loss in hp (about 4hp) but the torque curve was much better and feels better on the road. Overall well worth doing, and has caused me to drive like an arse all the way home!

Also had Sal, Malc and another lad (sorry didnt get his name!) with him, so was good to meet you all. All very nice blokes.

Cheers again Ant, and ill email you copies of the graphs

Cheers Dave, the other guy was Matt, who works on Corvettes all day long

The cars were a bit OTT , but overall atmosphere was good, shame about the weather

and no blow ups, good day all round.

with regards to the chip(s) best on the road, and best on the dyno dont go hand in hand, good torque gain and wider delivery( peaks earlier, higher and maintained for longer) for me everytime.

Cheers fella !

enough

for now @ any rate, wated spark install next week, then more to come, I've not posted the dyno sheet coz its irrelavnt, suffice to say... 216lbs/ft @ 2087 rpm Torque curve remains flat til 5250

Hp curve is a straight line @ 50 degrees 2K to limiter.

My car is my devolpment mule, I'm happy the mapping is 100% perfect, now to expand the parameters of the boostage

Blimey, that's a lot of low down grunt Ant!
