Yes Brian!! the chip made about a .3 difference and got us past a few cars. I never thought a road race set up with a v6 would ever get into the low 14s at the drags. We were stuck with a 75 shot, (because it was bought off of e-bay so we didn't kill the budget). W/O that chip were were screwed. Thanks for the help, you're the only guy we'll be going to for future projects.

No this was my first. the other 2 guys have run it before in a (brand X ) Honda civic.
