Actually, it's quite useful!  | | | | | 03-06-2011, 09:02 PM | #18 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Ottawa Posts: 579 |

In our 4 banger powered world, things happen so slow, you could almost get out, go for a nap and come back by the time you've got any movement. | | | | | 03-06-2011, 10:06 PM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 |

Anyway guys it's just a feature for those who wish to have some launch control at there favourite launch RPM without having to purchase a after-market launch control box . It really takes a lot of the foot feathering guessing out of the equation when your waiting for the tree to go green  | | | | | 03-08-2011, 08:34 PM | #23 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: lancashire Posts: 22 |
Can you do a more agresive tune for uk buyer? Here 95 octain pump fuel is basic and 97 and 99 octain are widely available.
.also what other mods are recommend to get the most from the chip. And maybe some rough ballpark figures for bhp and torque improvements..
Cheers

Simon. | Yes I do a US 93octane tune for the M42 witch is equivalent to your 99octane, and the tune is slightly more aggressive my chip can support cold air intake & performance exhaust... other mods would require a custom tune I don't like to quote HP & TQ increase because it very greatly across the board with many factors coming into play, but you can expect between 15-25bhp on a healthy motor | | | | | 04-01-2011, 12:17 AM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Ottawa Posts: 579 |
