Racechip

Hi, has anyone tried this racechip out? And what are the benefits? From what I can see, it does not add more kilowatts to your output, but only makes your vehicle more fuel efficient...

Thoughts...

I'm getting two. At an advertised 31% HP gain, that's 320hp.

I don't think this guy's spam has had the effect he intended.

You've never driven a car, until you've driven with one of these:

(+5.5hp on ever shift)

Now, @Jordanwolf ....... you just may be onto something here ......

It seems that several folks with our MT cars, have difficulty in smoothly shifting them.

So, maybe with this glove's technology, linked in with the ECU and a sensor on the clutch, we could develop a "shift assist" for our shift challenged drivers......

OK, who will initiate the start up company ....??

I will form the smoke and place the mirrors.

Jordanwolf, you will be in charge of the IPO.

Who else wants in on the ground floor, we have more room for venture capital ......??
