According to the Powerchip93 literature, you'll get 236 HP (@5500 rpm), and torque will hit 252 lb.ft. (@3000 rpm). I wonder where he's getting the extra HP and torque (20% torque increase would get you 275, woohoo!!!)? Unless you consider 236 'close' to 250 (well, it IS closer than 215!), he must be doing something more than just a PowerChip, or it's something other than a 'PowerChip' power chip.

Great price though... PowerChip wants $690! The Renntech claims 10HP/12lb.ft. increase for $995. Superchip says 10HP, wild price differences abound.

If he can prove the gains on a dyno, tell him I'd take off a day or two from work next week and drive the 3 hours to the beach to get one too! Hell, I'll leave right now if I could see before/after dyno curves. You ARE gonna have it dyno'd BEFORE the mods, right?
