Default Performance Chip

Amazon Amazon

Anyone think it is worth a try? Or has anyone done any other tuning to their SC? TIA

Sounds interesting but I'm not familiar with it. There have been other "performance enhancers" that were just a resistor, basically simulating what the sport switch does. They were worthless from all the past reviews. But I don't know about this one, it actually claims to have a micro in it.

Yeah man don't go anywhere near that man that's bs. I have no idea how they're allowed to sell those because some of them are literally dummies.

One of the Amazon reviews
"This product changes the throttle response and states it changes the timing/fuel maps etc. I work at a high performance tuner. We have dyno tested this chip. It actually took HP/TQ away. This is junk! "

Thanks for the help guys. I didn't think it would do anything, but I just wanted to see your opinions. Thanks!

I wish there were more tuning options for our cars. BMW's have so many options to tune the car, but I haven't found anyone that tuned an SC430 without major mods.
