Well, they dyno chart shows a strong 21 hp / 7.4 lb. ft. increase in power, with the ability to switch programs or adjust for later mods with a laptop down the road. (I presume I'd need good data from these guys to know what parameters to adjust and how)

Now will I be the first guy to bite on this lovely item? I think not.

This is an old chip. If my memory serves me right, it requires splicing into your ECU Wiring... this is not an easy install, and not an optimal way to upgrade your CPU software, and not the best way for system longevity.

Sho looks like a piggyback 2 me.

What they aren't telling you is just how lean they ran it to get those power numbers.

Unlike Pilo, I seek the tunability at the risk of compatability but I will wait until TwinChrgd show me how to hook up the APEXi S-AFC II.

Definately not a mod for the faint of heart. :smile:
