Yes you are correct. Plug it in and gain 10-15 whp and torque across the entire powerband.
Take it out and you are back to normal.
Oh, but you are too late. They are only making 35 of them for $675 shipped.
Have fun trying to buy a used one too. They will most likely go for more than the original purchase price!
Snooze ya lose buddy....

Philgates, Fuzzy, etc: don't worry, there will be plenty more opportuities for another chip in the future. Likley even further refined versions as more data will be collected from this time around and these companies learn how to better tweek the J3A2, possibly for even less money as anything that is "new" and "original" will naturally have an inflated price tag. I've watched this same process follow through with several models of cars, turbo and non-turbo since the early nineties. Initially the market is sparse and pricey, though as the car ages the market develops, people who've had the car begin to look towards modifying the vehicle to renew appeal or warranty termination and others (cars) which have been sold fall into the hands of people wanting to modify from the beginning. Aftermarket support for vehicles tends to become more affordable as the model line ages. Properly organized, even among this board another GB of even say forty members could be arranged.
And say, just for fun that somehow the laws of the Universe change such that the construction of another unit which effects the same engine managment techniques is no longer possible or the demand for such a unit disappears COMPLETELY somehow within the next few days. Hey, no big deal. I'm assured you each have quite a bit more going on in your life than a supposed 10 HP/(lb/ft) -(ahh, a dyno or two proven, that's right), no matter where it is on the tach. Oh, that's right Life is all (1/4) at a time, isn't it? Too bad you can't put on that Unichip sticker now...
MrSteve: Don't be a tool. Stuck with chipping a CL-S? Man, that sucks, snooze ya lose I guess...

Manic - Thank you for your contribution to this thread.. It was very insightful and very well thought out and also right on topic.. Almost premeditated, to say the least... I'm glad there are people like you in this world that have the time to browse from forum to forum to voice their opinion on something that bugs you so deeply.. Who are you to judge someone?

Oh and I bet 85% of all members of this board get jealous when they see a nicer can than theirs. Have you seen all the posts that say "XXXX spotted!" With pics of hot ass cars?? You are an idiot and I demand you never show your face here again. :flamer:
WHERE'S YOUR RIDE BITCH?!?!

Gutter Guard in the grill, and now you're a man. You don't want to see pictures of my "ride", it wouldn't do well for your ego and I don't feel the need to vindicate myself to anyone much less you. To feed your condition though, I will tell you that it will not only run circles around yours (chip or not) it will do so with four doors and a babyseat. But who cares, my neighbor has two cars which could be considered superior in many respects AND he's got a prettier yard! we are still more than civil with each other.)
The point being, and you obviously missed it completely, was: cars? So what? I've got two graduate degrees, a high-power telescope and the love of my life (a 4 year old girl) -all of which rank many many positions above any automobile I've ever owned (including my '03 CL-S, which was pretty high up there) My position is no different than many others on this and other boards, so you can imagine how silly you look when a vaild question from another member is trounced by the level at which you seem to operate.
Read your first post, your flaunting something you have no measure of value for nor do you know anything about. ("Oh, I read it will do this on a web board, and there are only 35 in the whole world! I've got one, sucks for you!") You tried to step on someone elses day to make yours better, it's sad you seem have an empty life pal but don't be a tool to the rest of us trying to compensate or expect us to have a likeness in your lack of perspective. Conclusion: Be nice, no one is ever going to remember your car, or anything you put in it no matter how "rare" so don't ever pretend as if it really matters. Neither does everyone else judge you as you judge them, try to consider that when that "nicer" car pulls up to you at a light that they might actually be thinking about the night before or the next week at work. (Not everyone is jealous as you are though we can all appreciate and dream, jealousy seeds resentment and discontent, the type of unhappiness that would make you develop a shit-head online personality towards strangers.)
To the rest of you who were offended, relax. Nothing derrogatory was ever said about your cars or your chip, it's sarcasm -an exceedingly effective means to aggitate the insecure.

Holy shit.
This is a car forum tough guy. Nobody gives a shit about telescopes or graduate degrees.
If ya got a nice car i'll be the first to give ya props. If ya don't, who cares.
Post pics of your said car or :noob: .

I already said I'm not going to play the picture game, if you want to meet me for some beer or barbecue sometime and your in the hill-country -I'll let you drive it. I don't play online persona tug-o-wars, there is no winning and like you said -who cares? Until then, let us at least try to to each other with at least a minimal inalienable respect.

I guess i'm just curious by nature but i just don't see why someone would post on a car forum that they have this great car that would run circles around the CL etc. and then not at least say what car it is.
Granted you did say it kinda indirectly cuz it wasn't in your first post but still.
I'm gonna say its an S/E/C AMG or something equivalent to them.

Online tug-o-wars? Manic, you need to learn one day your own BLARING conflictions
Be nice? Who called whom a tool? Nobody asked your OPINION about anything and when somebody asks you to back up anything you say, you can't play their "picture game" or whatever else you think is beneath you...
Somebody ban this tourist

Manic, I think you have clearly explained your point. I do think you were a little hard on MrSteve, as his comment was more from an excited state more so than a "I've got one and you don't". This is a forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Not stepping on any toes, just voicing what I think. I also think that your rebuttles were made with the best of intentions.

I'm with Manic...being a so called "noob" myself. Something similiar popped up and fellow members tend to stick with longevity as opposed to intelligence and common sense.

Read my first post?? How about you read the 44 pages of the actual Uni-Chip post that I have contributed to since the beginning. How can you say I "know nothing about it?"
I never tried to step on anyone or ruin anyone's day with my post. Although, look in the mirror buddy... talk about a hypocrite. You've brought nothing informative to this entire thread other than the fact that you have a children's car seat, a big telescope, and a ridiculous ability to walk into other people's business.
Shit head personality toward strangers too now?!? Again, look in the mirror. Have I EVER talked to you before on the forum or off it like I have with countless other members? So how come you come out attacking me calling me a tool and say I have an empty life??
Seems to me that everything you are trying to call me out on, you yourself are in-turn doing the exact same thing to begin with. I never made personal attacks at anyone or their cars, like you have. My reply to Phil’s post was intended to be jovial and to not to bring him down. If you have kept up with the original Uni-Chip thread you would see that many people have tried to get involved when it is too late. Where were all these people when we originally placed the order and started production?? THAT is why my post was written the way it was. I answered all of his questions about the chip, but then told him the bad news that it was too late for him to get involved.
Again, if you have nothing constructive to bring to the forum, stay out.
So once more :noob:
You've ruined this guy's thread, which was originally started to express our excitement of the arrival of our long awaited new mod.
#30
Uhm everyone attacking Manic sounds just like the shitheads on every other car forum. :shakehd:
I don't see what he said in his first post in this thread except to shut up that Steve guy who was being a smartass. The rest of the stuff you guys egged him into posting.

Damn--my thread was hijacked!
Not to metnion, regardless of who posted it, I'm not sure I would ever tell anyone if I DID have a high powered telescope!

I keep thinking about the guy in "Can't Buy Me Love" who was saving up to buy a telescope. Crazy how image/thought association works. Everyone has different priorities - and yes, age often directly affects it. That's why I'm happy to be young(er) and able to fawn over "insignifcant" things such as my car
Can't wait for the chip!

WOW, Did I start all this? I just asked a simple question LOL
As to mrsteves response, its was rather juvenile but what ya gonna do? I did sense some deep seeded insecurity issues in mrsteve though, he just has to have the latest and greatest stuff, and of course his stuff is better then everyone’s.
Maniac, thanks for the defense, and i can wait to get a chip; you where right about it not being a high priority; Ill just keep checking the boards to see if unichip will make more.
Cheers

Well, even though is think this was a stupid, I can see where Steve is coming from. I think he was just frustrated that when he was helping to get 20-25-30 people in on the group buy, it took forever. However, now that it is done and full, more people want one. Just frustration along with emotions.

now i can see why Steve would be upset that more people didnt get in on the buy but his delivery was god awful! He just made himself look like a whiny bitch by lashing out at someone who doesn't even know what's going on.
Manic then gets trounced on trying to back Phil up and no one seemed to get that or care to back Phil up themselves.
very interesting....
