steve, thanks for the heads up! looking forward to getting ahead enough to be able to justify buying your chip. just the steadiness added to the lwf alone may be worth the purchase price. i currently have a cyntex chip, and an old one at that ('96 i believe). it's doing a reasonable job..i rarely have stalls at idle even with a/c. how much more actual horsepower/performance/seat of the pants, etc. to gain with your chip i do not know. maybe you do? ;)

Couldn't tell you exactly without knowing which Cyntex program you have. There are at least a few. A couple of years ago, in dyno developing a chip on a fairly stock car, out of curiousity, I also dynoed chips from Autothority, Cartronic, Dinan, RUF, Weltmeister, all of the factory chips, and Cyntex to see if there were any surprises. The result was that the Cyntex pinged the hardest and produced the lowest power, 7 hp lower than a stock chip. But this chip looked like it was more suited for 94+ octane and I can't blame it as my tests were conducted with 91 octane.

Seat of the pants, I'd think my chip would have more off idle and low rpm thrust than the others. I also get rid of that power lag below 4000 rpm, with power coming on right from 1500 rpm up. But you're welcome to try it.

the time is approaching rapidly, steve. i've got the lwf in a '90 964 C4 with a single muffler bypass. thinking of sending you checks on a 'layaway plan' to keep within my flight instructor budget.. ;) what particulars do you need to optimize or should i wait until time to order?
