Race Chip.

[J LAD]

Anybody had any experience of using Race Chip tuning products? I have always been very wary of these kind of products in the past, but with technology now having come so far since the old days?
They are quoting 3 tuning stages for my car ranging from 30bhp to around 100bhp!, which is a bloody lot?
Then you here of Fiesta Sts running 350bhp without any trouble????

I've never been a fan of these "black box" tuning products; I'd rather pay a bit more and have a map that's tailored to my set-up and driving style.

Since I subscribe to the fundamental law that there's no such thing as a free lunch, I'm always sceptical about claims of gaining 100bhp with nothing more than some electronics to fool the ECU.

I know plenty of people making more than 300bhp in a Nissan Pulsar (one at 420bhp), but there's a lot more that goes in to that than a remap. - Mine makes almost that with only mechanical mods (and no remap).

Maybe that's just me being paranoid?
