I'm interested in seeing how Steve's Giac chip performs. The Audi guys seem to like them alot.
Will you be able to have a useable diagnostic port?

My shop said that the 915 actually holds a relatively consistent temperature after it gets hot. In other words, if you're running on the track and it's at 250F, you can pull into the pits and let the car sit there for a few minutes and it will still be at 250F (the case and everything). I have not done enough research to tell you how true that statement is, but his advice was to simply measure the transmission temperature with a pyrometer at the end of a run. I was planning on adding a temperature sensor to my transmission, but I decided against it based on that knowledge.
I am also extremely interested to see how Steve's chip performs. I get a very good feeling from him, and his advice has always been quite sound. My only regret is that I won't have any before/after data for comparison, so I won't truly know what the chip did for me. If there are any special graphs you would like to see, just let me know and I'll have them printed out. As you recall, I'll be using a Dynapack dynamometer for the analysis.
Also, I will have a usable diagnostic port.
