IMHO these "performance chips" are pretty much BS. I've bought two chips for a BMW I owned and could not detect the slightest difference in performance. Save your money and if you are really interested in a higher performing car buy an E320 gasser.

An E320... Gas car? If I wanted a gas car then I would have bought an E320.

Anyway from my research I see that it increases the amount of fuel. Such that if I currently let the RPM's climb to 3K before I shift, where as I would only have to let the RPM's climb to a value less than 3K to achieve that same result. I'm going to try to contact them to see if they have any dyno information.
