i went to a place that had a dynojet. i did 2 runs. the firs run i did i had a 118.3 hp and 123.2 torque. the man that worked there said that diablo chips suck and i should try taking it out. so i did. my second run was 121.4 hp and 125 .torque. so the diablo sucks. i want to try to send it back and get a superchip so i can get it burned at the place that i got my car dynoed.

Superchips suck too. Don't get a chip yet

did u run the car 4 at least an hr after taking the chip out? if not, ur results could b scewed just as if u put the chip right after a non-chip pass. the ecu has 2 learn the prgm and work accordingly. not drivin in between gives the ecu no time 2 learn and adjust 4 everyday driving.

You are telling me that if I go to the dyno and run the car one pass with the chip, in order for me to truly test the chip I have to take it out and run the car for an hour to really be able to measure performance?

Old news...

Oh wait, no one really cared before in this post where Super, Diablo, and a Custom chip were tested back to back to back by TheChipGuy on my car.

Of course, since we know that dyno runs tell us EVERYTHING we can now shut down all the tracks and just move all racing indoors.

your peak #s may not mean squat in this case...take a look at the WHOLE curve on each of your dyno sheets before you decide whether or not the chip sucks. If your peak #s dropped 1-2 points but the curve itself was better (ie. the "under curve" area is noticeably larger), the chip may be worthwhile.

Having said that, I'm not convinced that they are worthwhile either, from a power standpoint. But you can remove the rev limiter, the fuel-shut off, raise idle, etc...so there are at least some positive applications on an n/a car.

Do a search. Cajun ran quarter mile tests with DiabloSport and Superchip equiped Focuses. Both showed significant (but not huge, of course) improvements. I *think* it was a .4 second drop in time in both cases (with the Superchip having a very small advantage).
