My car has Haibeck headers w/ cats, a Corsa exhaust, and Marc's chip. The net result is an increase of 45 HP and 40 TQ at the crank. We dyno'd the changes as we went, including without Cats (cats only cost about 2 hp). The chip itself does add about 10 hp as Marc says, and the exhaust mods were responsbile for most of the rest. He dynos everything before he will say a word on any improvement, so trust me, it's 10 hp. The CAGS defeat, valet key always on and early cooling fans make the car more driveable. Plus he tailors the chip to the mods on your car; for example if you don't have headers the air/fuel ratio is slightly different.--Bob
