Ish happens... I hope the guy is okay and although we're all anxious to see the results, I'm sure we all understand that you have more to do than dyno test stuff for our enjoyment. Thanks for spending your time and money to test the Unichip.

Hehe, yeah he's fine, just sore. I'm anxious too, so hopefully we'll see some results. Temp here has increased dramatically, so I dunno what thatll do, but I noted the temp on the first dyno, and will note the temp this time.

Higher temp = less power, but it might not be noticeable or significant

Yeah I know, and Im sure there is a correction. The first was one 81 degrees, and I imagine this one will be closer to 90. I may pick Dan Gardner's brain after the run and see what he thinks. Since this will be a deciding factor for me, and Im sure many others, I want it to be fair, either way.

You will usually get better responses to regional questions in the regional forums. This was from a "dyno shops" search in the Pacific South regional forum:

Good idea. Also call local engine shops and speed shops.

Im verrrry interested to see how this goes. Ive been debating on buying the UniChip for a long while. I really want to see if I can break 200hp with all the Bolt ons ive added since last year. Expecially the Weapon-R Intake Mani... becuase your supposed to be able to pull a lot of hp out of that thing when turned. My only problem is 500$ is a lot of money to be disapointed lol.

Haha, just got home. Had to change oil too, and the 4 runs took awhile because we let the engine cool in between the two map 0 runs, and the two map 1 runs. Putting the every 100 rpm data into a spread sheet. Over all, its not a huge increase, if you look at max's, but at certain RPM's the diff is pretty huge. Im happy with it. Will have spread sheet up shortly.

Ok, here is the spreadsheet. Between the low and high octane maps, you won't find a lot of difference, but this might not be completely accurate because I ran 93 octane on both, or it may not matter. The high octane does eek out more in areas, and Im running 93 anyways, so Ill stay on that map.

Im happy with the chip in 4000-6000 range, and I'd think against a car without the chip, you'll pull away in the higher rpm's.

As you can see, from the CAI/Borla vs the CAI/Borla/Unichip on the high test map, the highest hp went from 135.3 to 140.6 at the wheels, and the tq went from 128.5 to 138.6. Biggest gains at a certain rpm are 12hp and 13ftlbs at 5000 rpm.

Enjoy and debate.
