I would recommend that instead of trying to add power to the engine, he
concentrates on reducing weight. Replace the tires with flat resistent ones and dump the spare tire. If he is the only one in the car, remove a few bolts and take out the extra seats. The door panels could also be removed and thereby exposing the window motors which are quite heavy. Glue the windows in place (that was standard feature on earyl 300M's) and remove the window motors and regulators. If he is really serious, the ac and radio has got to go.

If you google all you get is the chip manufacturers sales literature which "proves" that if you drop $500 into their chip that your car will run like greased lighting with a 50% improvement, sip gas like it's the last tankful it will ever see, and quadruple the longtivity of your vehicle so that your grandchildren will still be driving it. If you ask here on Usenet where you will find people who DON'T have a vested interest in these chips, you will get the truth which is they do absolutely nothing that can be measured on a dyno, in return for emptying your wallet. The only time chipping a car does anything is if you have a turbocharger and the chip you put in allows you to increase boost past the computer's preprogrammed limit. Of course your turbo won't last longer than a $5 whore on the docks when the ships come in, but if you know how to increase boost in a turbo you probably know this too. Ted |

I think you've sent a new record for the amount of missinformation in one post. The performance chips can make some improvement in normally aspirated vehicles, especially those with auto trannies. They can modify spark timing, fuel maps and shift points and this can all increase performance, but at the expense of something else, typically fuel economy. And increasing the boost in a turbocharged engine isn't much harder on the turbo, it is the engine internals that take most of the grief. I'll take your word on the whore, I have no experience there.

No they cannot, unless you buy performance chips that are 'off-road-only' ie: illegal to run on the street. And those will burn out your catalyatic converter. And even then, if you don't do the other things needed - like camming it, adding headers, etc. - you won't get the most out of an off-road chip. > They can > modify spark timing, fuel maps and shift points and this can all > increase performance, but at the expense of something else, typically > fuel economy. > You cannot do any of that without making emissions exceed the legal limits, unless the modifications are so slight - just a few percent - that the rise in emissions is within the tolerance range, which on new vehicles is not that great. And there's too many other variables - such as the temperature that day, engine wear, etc. - which are going to matter more than a legal perf chip. > And increasing the boost in a turbocharged engine isn't much harder on > the turbo, it is the engine internals that take most of the grief. > Wrong again there. Most turbo engines use forged pistons and the like and can readily take the higher power. As long as your not an idiot and upgrade your fuel system so the engine doesen't go lean at the higher boost, the engine isn't the problem. The turbo is the problem because higher boost means higher turbo speed, which means operating the turbo above it's maximum speed, ie: overspinning. Sure, you can avoid a lot of trouble by using synthetic fuel, but the turbo still takes a beating. But that is generally not a problem for folks that increase boost and who know what they are doing, since they generally are planning on getting a bigger turbo anyway, they may as well burn out the stocker. These perf chip arguments have come up on this forum again and again. Every time they do, the chip proponents are challenged to take dyno results proving their street legal chipped cars are better with the chip than without, that is when they slink off and we never hear from them again.
