Performance Chip

[Philmust]

I am interested in anybody owning a 3.0i that has a performance chip installed. What is the brand and price? Was it worth the money and is the power increase significant?

I have a shark injector on my 330. Throttle response is different but no noticeable power increase. Removes the limiter, so that part was worth it. I can't remember what I paid but it wasn't much compared to my other mods.

Hey I was looking into getting the S1 for the 4.4i. But I had a question which is in reference to mileage. Since it is adjusting the air/fuel, does it lessen gas mileage?

This is a 3.0l gasoline car.?

And you only did a software update.?

How exactly is the improvement.? Faster, smoother.....?
And as asked before, does it improves the gas/milage ratio.?

Thanks.

Yes .... 3.0i gasoline car.I did SW and x-pipe plus cold air intake
The improment in SW make the car faster,smoother more fun to drive... That's best bang for the bucks
and it does improves in gas/milege when it come to increase HP.

I have a Conforti Shark on my M Roadster. Looking at getting one for my 3.0. Here is the Dyno for a 3.0 with the Shark.

Dinan all the way.. with the stage 3 software and throttle body she loves to rev (and quick)! AEM intake and a new exhaust/resonator delete will perminately cure my X5's asthma.

As for gas milage I don't reset my CONS1 and I've averaged 20MPG over the last year with roughly 60/40 city/highway use (but I also know when to throw in the clutch and let the hill do the work so your YMMV)
