Err... I think I see the pattern here. Guys who have sunk loads of money into their CIS motors for small performance increases don't like this "change chip and get more power" trend. I mean, if I threw 13000$ into CIS engine just to get 34 extra HP I would be mad at everyone who claimed that improvements can be made just changing a chip. I would try to ridicule them as much I could beacuse if what they were saying was true, I would have felt stupid for spending that kind of money and recieving relativly minor returns. I would post multiple threads about "great torque improvements", "great reliability and simplicity of CIS" and dyno graphs to convince myself (and others) that my investment was actually sound. I would also ignore the fact that 3.2L Carrera engines are much easier to tune due to absence of CIS-flapper and presence of electronically tunable Motoronic fuel injection tahat allows you fine tuning with substaintially less $$-input.
Oh, by the way: total cost of our project car including tub in perfect condition, coilovers,brand new Garrett GT40 turbo, engine in good shape (that produces more torque in stock form than rdane's 13k$-improved 3.4L), Big Red front+930 rear brakes, custom welded SS headers, 930 gearbox with LSD, fiberglass body parts .etc .etc totals around 13000$
