Ha ha ha, the lure of more power eh ?

I did notice yesterday an interesting development for racechip, it now comes with a bluetooth option, so that you can adjust power settings on the fly, the downside is that its not available for the Astra J, not sure if it is because it cant be done or work in progress, quite interesting though

I think you would certainly notice a nice improvement if you did go to a maxchip

I had a 100mile round trip into the office today and enjoyed the drive, even 6th gear seems to have some decent pull sub 50mph

I cant say I want for anymore power, but, now it has me noticing that maybe the suspension should be fettled, followed by the brakes!

Haha. That maxchip did pop up on sale again on Amazon. (163hp)  I even added it to my basket,  just didn't pull the trigger. Thought I might end up with buyers remorse come the morning. so  do I really need it..... Or should I remap it........ decisions decisions. Cheers

just remember chaps claimed bhp etc mean nothing without a dyno run and proof
and max figures will be at max settings so lets see your true results
we need a dyno day haha

No need to ruin this thread with the facts.  Haha, yes I do like a dyno run which reminds me I have not had my last 4 cars on a dyno. Used to be mandatory for me for checking mod effectiveness.

I notice that maxchips have now revised their website information, currently the maxchip pro dual now sits at a maximum increase of 41bhp to 206bhp, reduced from 221bhp

I wonder what that is all about then ? unless they have "downrated" everything to accomodate their new flashchip ?
