Hmm...can't disagree with Loren on this statement, but it seems to contradict what he was claiming just 8-10 years ago both on Rennlist and then here. I'm parapharsing, but in a nutshell, Loren's take was essentially that there was no REAL difference between chips (Porsche 84-86 stock, vs Porsche 87-89, vs Steve Wong, etc.) and we were all "feeling" things. So here it is in a nutshell...if you have access to "better gas", then a chip that advances the timing just a bit will indeed yield better performance. Caveat...it was NOT a "night & day" difference in my case, but incremental....just like most of the mods I've made. Oh yeah...Loren also warned us plenty about the DANGER of aftermarket chips...10 years now and my motor is still going strong.
"Chips suck, case closed" - Lorenfb (circa 2004 as I recall).
To think that Loren has a "hidden agenda" is a mild understatement imho
