yeah I know about the pre meet but Id rather hang with my own kind if you catch my drift so Ill be at the Dyno Day probably just hanging out. Is there anything else that needs to be brought. Food or beverage wise?

I didn't help install it, but just from watching them and what I saw of the instructions online it looks insanely easy. The hardest part was what's being shown in that picture. I don't know anything at all about working on cars, and I would have no issue taking on this kind of project. Plug it in, zip tie it down, and drive

It would be tough for me to decide whether to tune or go with the unichip, due to my lack of experience and knowledge for either solution... but considering the low cost, I was pretty impressed with @bignrichlll's car when I took it for a spin. Seems worth it. Looking forward to seeing a dyno map

I've had mine for a month, and it works great.....plus having access to 150 + tunes for just about every NA mod there is makes it worth every penny.

I am actually thinking about getting the UniTune kit so I can tweak the tunes myself

I will be doing the Uni-Chip.

It was an easy install. I drove it after, very noticeable power increase.
3500-4k rpms is were I noticed the increase. The engine pulled way harder at those rpms.

Ninjin is an animal. This dude shows up in work clothes and proceeds to get under someone else's car for hours. You sir get a gold mutha friggin star!

It was a super fun night. Rich has a completely different car now.
