(I am on the rules commitee) And it is currently being discussed. One option is to allow any sytem, and throw out the "in the box" requirement.
So, no, anything goes with chips, LOL>
Assume race gas, and slightly greater compression, and full on header/exhaust systems. Goals are as always, greater power, and broader tq curve. !-3K rpm respnse isn't terribly important.
And as many revs as the mechanical constraints of the engine will allow..
where are you located? What limitations are you faced with when dealing with the Porsche system?

I'm located about 20 miles SW of Albany, NY near the Catskills. I'm in the sticks, nothing out here but deer, coyotes, bears, etc..
My only limitation right now is access to cars and tuning equipment like dynos. But like I said I just found a dyna-pak fairly close by and am going to be working with some local shops soon to move things along a little better. I have a knack for determining the engine characteristics, reading stock Porsche code and improving upon it. Like I said in production chips I focus on the partial throttle maps first because that's where normal cars spend 90% of the their time. Then I broaden the overall power band and usually end up squeezing a bit more HP out of it. On turbo cars it's a whole different ballgame, all kinds of different turbos, mods, injectors, etc. Tuning for mechanical changes like heads, exhaust, intake characteristics, etc. is actually easier. Especially when a lot of turbo vendors won't disclose the actual flow characteristics of their products. Obviously they don't want anyone to tune their product better than they can.
I just want to make cars go faster. If I make some money along the way great, if not, I'm making cars go faster and I'm happy!
