Speed Tuning Chip - [2.8 Review]

Okay you 2.8 owners, don't slit your wrists just yet. There is hope for us after all! I just returned from having my 2.8 chipped by Oliver, and i can honestly say that it does make a difference!

The torque gain is incredible. This upgrade, coupled with my tip-chip, makes me love my car all over again. My car feels stronger than it did before, and when i'm driving in tip mode, the shifts really snap (yeah torque!!). My butt dyno chart doesn't lie. On the drive home, i goosed the throttle, and before i knew it, i hit 95mph. For $125 bucks, i couldn't be happier.

Now in all fairness, i've never had the 2.8 GIAC chip installed, so i don't know how it compares. However, GIAC claims a 6hp/6ft lb torque increase and i'm 95% sure (+/- a percentage) that i'm getting more from this chip than i would from the GIAC (at a fraction of the cost). But without an actual dyno test, i can't verify the results.

Oliver said to give it around 200 miles for the transmission to adapt to the chip, but for now, i'm a pretty happy camper.

If you haven't already, jump in on this deal. It's totally worth it.
