1984 3.2 with 76000 miles and SW chip+k/n no airbox+ cat bypasshttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1254869394.jpg

That looks like mine.

85, SW chip, cat bypass. 215-217rwhp depending on the day.

Up from 195rwhp all stock. :p

As a manufacturer with lots of customers going with big bores and needing software, I always recommend and get excellent feedback on Steve Wong's chips and services. Can't go wrong that way.

That's 10% + power increase! That's a big deal! I think with prices where they are currently at, it's a no-brainer. Last month.... well, tough call.

I have yet to install my MaxHP chip, (due to an error on my part), but let me say that Russell's customer service is top notch, and I'm looking to the change.

It's nice to see that there are still companies that believe in customer service. I work at one where it is paramount, so I have a critical eye towards this kind of thing.

Thanks again Russell.

Just a FYI here...

I've had several clients recently upgrade from their 2K chip, and they've gone through various procedures to re-adjust their idle mixture and I've come to the conclusion that there's just really no point in putting people through this.

So I've started setting the 911MAX behavior to match that of your old 2K chip in idle and cold start fuel enrichment so you no longer have to go through this headache.

Russell

I installed a new chip that I got from Russell, this past weekend. I did not realize what a huge difference it made. Smoother idling, Smoother acceleration, and you can definetly feel the power. The customer service Russell provided was awsome, I called and left a message for him, and not even 15 minutes goes by, when he calls me from the track and answered all my questions. Now that is freakin awsome service, that is hard to get these days.

Thanks,

Russell

Check you AFR's!!!

With any chip including the stock one, it is a good idea to verify one's Air Fuel Ratio's on a dyno.

From my experience, and with the age of our cars, there are variations in the condition and tune of our cars that no off the shelf chip can account for those cars that vary from the mean.

Further, our cars only sense air flow up to about 5200rpm. After that it just sends a given amount of fuel based on rpm. If the air flow is different that expected, the AFR will not be near the ideal.

If you make a mod that changed the air flow potental above that point, the chip will likely need to be adjusted.

A motor that is running to lean to be safe on the track can make great HP.

On my car adjustment in the chip was necessary.

To check the AFR on the dyno, I prefer to unplug the stock O2 and then have the shop put there wide band in its location on the exhaust. Ask them if they would recalibrate there system before your run. They may not if they did it recently.

I guess it is time for me to get a chip. I am going to go with Russel's chip just due to loyalty. I used to have a 951 and he saved me from killing my car. He made me a custom chip that worked flawlessly with my mods..(bigger turbo, injectors, maf ect.) I had gone through many chips, piggy backs, ect and nothing ever worked perfectly until I used his chip. my afr was perfect through any rpm range and load.

I just received a multiboard and chip from Russell Berry (MAXHPKIT.com). Wow - It is great. Russell worked with me for a while to get the right programs for my 85 911. I am the 4th owner of the car and it appears I had a different chip than stock when we first started the process. The service was excellent from Russell. Answered my emails usually within the hour. The 93 octane program really smoothed out the car. It felt like I just had a major tune up. I just installed tonight so I will do some more spirited driving over the weekend to see if the seat of the pants experience is different. Thus far I am very pleased. I love having the no start feature as a theft deterent

I don't have a chip on my 911 yet, will do. My budy had many chips in his car and we play with our car together all the time, so I heard about it, while test driving his car, all the time. Now he has SW chip and he swear he never go anywhere else beside SW chip. Some of the chips he tried even ping on acceleration. To make the story short, base on all the test play and experience he got, when I am ready I will get SW chip.

While I do think SW is the supreme being of tuners for our 911's, there can be other sources. I'm not sure you offer much in the way of "advice".

ed,
Sorry that my writing wasn't clear enough. Let me make shorter so you can read it better. According to my buddy tests, he tried several difference chips and finally we agreed that SW was the best out of all the chips he had on his car.
- Base on your comments, I did not say SW chip is the only one out there.
- If you say my comment on SW chip is not an advice, does your sounds like an advice?

The point is you don't have much experience to offer. I doubt your buddy has tried the RB chip.

Just adding my 2 cents over many here as I'm not technically inclined though I will swear my SW chip made a world of difference for me (excellent low range drivability, and smoother acceleration with noticeable power difference across the board). Good luck !

Ed,
Now you are mad and wrong again.
1) First you said I didn't know there are other chips out there; which wasn't what I said. First wrong.
2) Then you said I don't have much experience to offer. Well, I may not have enough knowledge to speak the detail, but sure I have enough to choose the chip I want and I should have the right to give the opinion to someone else. Second wrong.
3) You completely GUESSED on what chips my buddy had tried. Base on what you made this guess?

I know what your points were. One, you were mad because someone preferred a different chip than yours, therefore you were trying to prove that I was wrong, but it turned out that you were. This was on (1). Then you were mad at yourself and tried to embarrass me about experience stuff, and made a guess about trying RB chip. These are all wrong Ed.

In my opinion...
- Advice is an advice. One penny is better than nothing. It was not valid to say my advice is not an advice.
- I have not said anything about your RB chip, good or bad. I was speaking in general.
- SW chip is good or bad, many people here already know. You don't have to put down my opinion and try to embarrass me to prove "my chip is better than yours". This is very childish, and it seem like you were just putting yourself down instead.
I think I had enough.

Dude, you are the one that seems to have the communication issue. I have both chips, and you don't know what one I have in place on a given day, as I've changed them on occasion. If you'll note, I somewhat agreed with you in that Steve is very good at what he does, and is recognized here by many. I only stated that there are some other choices.

The point is you have no long term experience by your own admission, but were making second hand recommendations, which was my only criticism of you initially. Example: I've not run slicks on my car, so I'm not going to chime in on what works and what doesn't. This is where the internet goes sideways, so many opinions based on second hand info.

So, get over your thoughts that I'm trying to embarass you or that I'm mad.

I still doubt your buddy has tried the latest RB due to its relative newness.

Oh yeah? Now I have communication issue? Read your previous responses to me and tell me where were your support ideas? Or you were just attacking me without any relevant explanation.
Because I don't like to mention names, you thought you can use the reason of "doubt my budy has tried RB chip" to prove your egotistic by your illogical way. But it's still funny that, again, I never said anything about RB chip. What is it about RB chip that I CAN NOT like SW chip? Remember, this is personal choice and personal opinion.

Actually, if you are so ego to win since you mentioned about this multiple times, why don't we bet? How much would you bet me to show up in front of your place with an RB chip in my hands and my budy in front of you?

Yes you do have a communication issue, as proven by your last few posts, and now you've turned into a full douchebag. Let me know when you're going to show up, so I'm not home.

Why dont you take this discussion over private mail guys?
