    Chip Tuning

    I found this website for plug and play chip tuning, I will try it after I got enough money to buy the pro version.
    Will try on my Galant first.
    Chip Tuning

    Anyone crazy enough to try this mod except for me?

    A ha ... I had the same reply from my dealer, he said that it won't make a difference on cars without turbo. The only thing they do is just setting the timing earlier and more fuel injected which means more fuel usage. I think in that case I rather spend my money on sway bars

    dyno tune > *

    Especially if it's a good tuner, it's worth the dyno tune.

    Size doesn't matter. Nissan created a 400hp 3 cylinder engine. Cars from factory are detuned a lot. Most places when they tune your car can gain power and still use the same or less fuel.
