how much of an upgrade in hp and torque does the wild chip give on a bog standard 325?

No idea what the bhp increase is but wild chip made a big difference on my motor, much better throtle respose and felt a good bit more pokey.
Be patiant though, these chips are made to order i think.
How about coming along to the next surrey meet on the 8th when its all fitted? 8)

mine took about a week and a half (If I remember right). Well worth the wait, it got rid of that annoying 325 flatspot near tickover when pulling away gently, and cut the 50 - 80 time in 3rd from 7.8 to 6.7. Much easier to drive now, a lot smoother, and less jerky

I have just had the mild chip fitted as I have an auto. Not had much chance to test it out as its been raining.

But it does feel much better pick up it better and builds revs in any gear 8) . I had it rolling roaded before it went on so I can do a before and after
