Manoluno......how did it go with your chipping? I have the first Crossfire chipped by Jason too and at first he had some difficulty downloading the file since the initial file won't delete while the rest of the files were already deleted. In fact, he has to call Rene for help at that time. That was also the same time when BobbaFettm's Crossfire won't start anymore! He finally figured it out by using another file name to download. Paid $425 since it was done on a Saturday.

Now, I'm kinda doubtful if I got the chipped file or not since my mileage is at 19 miles per gallon instead of 21 in city driving. I gathered a few data using the stopwatch prior to chipping but it didn't show any increase in 0-60 and its even slower. I know my data are not accurate but the change in mileage and speed should at least give a significant improvement than the stock data. I havent dynoed my car yet and I'm still having second thoughts of buying the G-tech Pro the fact that it's not a necessity for me.

I can feel the increase in torque but I can't identify where the increase are credited to whether it came from my K&N filter or from the Upsolute chip. Sometimes, its just all in your mind the fact that my data are pretty much subjective before and after the chipping. I may be wrong but I'll figure this one out.

I did beat the Z4 auto in a 0-60 race but who knows if its the car or driver??

I might try to email Jason if he could check it back for me if my ECU is indeed getting the chip.
