    Agreed...
    Not to mention that from what I've seen in othe scenes... a chip upgrade under $300 is a bargain. I think I paid $350 for mine on my 2000 Golf 1.8T, and it was amongst the cheaper alternatives. I've seen similar, if not higher prices for Honda chip upgrades with negligible gains, pretty much imperceptible. Lastly, I'm looking at a chip upgrade for my wife's Trailblazer - they claim gains from 275 hp to about 311 or so.. for $575!!!! Granted, the larger value is the removal of the ECU drive by wire torque management.. I guess if it weren't for it in there from the factory we'd have a whole lot of soccer moms peeling away from stop signs, but still.. That's a lot of loot. I figure even if the gains are half of what's claimed, it's worth the reasonably low investment.

    Ok.. enough, I'm not posting any more.. lest everyone think I have some sort of vested interest (I don't except to ensure that we get 10 people in this go 'round )

    To increase the hp by 50 in my Tahoe it would cost me $700. That is a combination of a software change and a cold air intake. I decided against that as the stock 295hp handles anything I have thrown at it with ease so far. Perhaps if that cost comes down in the future I might go for it.

    For roughly the same increase for less than $200 on the e34...man I don't often encounter such a no-brainer...

    No vested interest here either.
