Cool

Thanks for the info, Holger.

You English is fine.

There was once a lot of discussion about how good these chips were. This was quite some time ago.

From memory, the general consensus was the chips were not worth the money because the manufacturer Subaru had already tuned the car so well, there was no room for improvement.

However, this has to be looked at in relation to capability also. Most stock SVX motors are only able to provide top speed in the region 145-150. I think most people will agree with that.

Your auto on the other hand seems to have proven capability of over 160, even if you dock 10% for measurement error.

This proves to me anyway that your car is definitely accessing all the horsepower available, so maybe your chip is making a good difference at the top end.
