1990 C2 - Autothority or Steve W chip?
I'm considering chip replacement and have read some strings about it.
Anyone out there with 964 and Autothority or Steve Wong chip? What's your experience with either of these? |

I have an Autothority in my 90 C2 specifically to better manage my LWF, so I don't stall at stop lights.
The chip was present when I bought the car, so I don't have a baseline dyno from before to compare against, so I have no idea what it did to torque/horsepower. My engine is running a bit lean around 5k, so I plan to get the chip tuned at a dyno shop before too long. The chip is supposed to provide a rev limiter, but it doesn't kick in until 7500rpm, so I plan to lower that as well.

Kris,
Looked at those giant sized photos of yours - What size wheel/tire are you running on the c2? I am going to be DE-ing it soon and am looking to put stuff together. Also, what brand of pedals are in there as well. I like the gas pedal esp - has that extra lip on the top left. Any other mods of note? Edmund K |
