I just could not bring myself to spend $100 per 1 BHP increase. The same type of remap over here is about $500 but I still couldn't justify it.

Not considering my 450 remap I had before was $500 and gave an extra 50 bhp.

As a US taxpayer, I just spent $1,000,000,000,000 to save some fat cat's skin, so a hundred bucks a horse...

If only Penske had imported the 451-332!

For a minimum of 15 rbhp, I'd pay

Have an update for us?

How did the ECU work out? Dyno runs before and after, please.

I hope to be able to baseline (dyno) my smart this Saturday. I then will swap the ECU and share the resutls with you guys.

In these times and days, pesky customers take precedence over many other things.

Wily,
Please stop sleeping, working, eating and using the head. These tasks are all taking time from your completing work on the new ECU.
