Alright, next question.

You guys and girls running chips (on a Cooper) What are you using, and who do you recommend? One of NAMs sponsors is Eurobahn performance, who offers superchips programming. Are they any good, what about helix? or powerchips? I did a search but no defintive answers.

cheers, jason

Helix will be offering the GIAC chip for the Cooper at some point, but will be releasing MCS version first. I don't know the time frame or expected results.

For the MC there are very limited options. PowerChips makes an ECU upgrade for the MC at $490.
Ask Randy Webb at Webbmotorsports for details. The HP gains are modest.
GIAC is about to release their ECU upgrade for the MCS and later an MC version will be released.
