Just took a look at the Powerchip web site.

Rob...you said removal of the chip was simplistic, but PowerChip says in the Xfire it requires desoldering and they recommend a PowerChip authorized shop do it. Did you do it yourself?

The PC site says that the additional power may be subtle, and that it may take a couple of weeks to notice it. In this case, though, it's a 10% increase in HP, one would think that unlike the RennTech 10hp increase, a 10 PERCENT increase would be somewhat obvious.

If these chips increased performance 10% simply by putting down less than a grand, AND because one of the knocks against the Crossfire is it's underpower, why would DC not offer such a chip as an option/aftermarket item to current buyers/owners? They could make a buck, build customer relationships.

Certainly they have the technology to create these chips as easily as anyone.

At 236 hp, it would be right there with the RX8, and with it's weight advantage and better mid range grunt it would seemingly close the gap between it and the 350Z.

Are these chips for real? They seem too good to be true!

Rob, we're ALL waiting to see what your results are. If, for $640 bucks, you get a noticeable increase of performance that feels like 20hp, I bet a lot of folks here make the call next week!
