I was fortunate enough to get the newest version of Mark’s chip in the mail last Monday evening. I have been using it since Thursday.
It is fabulous! My observations from switching from the Dinan chip to Mark’s chip are as follows:
- Power comes on strong and smooth. Especially in the typical “Dinan hole” of 1800 – 2800 rpms.
I was slightly annoyed in traffic this morning and decided to give a protest “chirp” of the tires. I spun the
wheels pretty good (back end slid!) I had power the minute I let off the clutch. - Rev limiter is back. I very carefully tried to “bounce” the limiter and it came on right where expected.
- I have no pinging issues. We have 93 octane here in NC. Felt great with the A/C on going up a decent hill.
- Idle is smoother, but exhaust still sounds great. For those of you who have ordered the chip, you’re in for a pleasant experience. Those that are curious and have questions, feel free to ask.
