Question Performance chips?

Who makes the best performance chip for 3.2L Carrera's? I've heard Autothority are probably the top of the line. Do you agree?

if you do a search on 'performance chips' in past messages here i think you'll find all the info you'll need on chip comparison. i think you'll also find that most have experienced that the chips don't make THAT much of a difference in a 3.2... i could be wrong, though; i haven't tried a/b'ing one, myself.

The only place performance chips really make a difference is with turbocharged engines, where a chip can turn up the boost and do whatever else is necessary to handle the higher horsepressure (assuming you use the right gas, etc.). Put a chip on a naturally aspirated engine and all you're doing is remapping things so that you get a little more power here at the expense of less there. If you want to do something specific like achieve maximum torque at a different point than stock, a chip is fine, but if you expect a chip to raise horsepower at all rpms, you'll be disappointed.
