Over the years I've learned its the person behind the wheel that needs improvement, not the car and especially not a car as great as a 997S!

It would also seem to me that Manufacturers can do a better job of tracing non-factory chips and thus void any and all warranty claims for the car. In a car whose motor costs what, $15-20K this seems like a foolish risk. I imagine a better exhaust system might give you more reliable sound and performance gains than a compromised performance chip.
