Track times with out unichip....
Last week i went to the track and it was 67 deg, ran a 14.21 off a 2.16 60' and trapped 98.68.
Today i went and it was 72 deg, i took the chip out yesterday to see what i would do with out it and see if its really helping me.
I ran 3 14.2's and 5 14.3's. Heres my best time of the day:
r/t........ .134
60'....... 2.189
330'..... 6.096
1/8.......9.237@78.13mph
1000'.....11.955
1/4.........14.233@99.49
So if you look at the number i ran a nearly identical time w/o the chip but trapped 1 mph higher in 5 deg hotter weather. This proves to me that the unichip is actually hurting my times. I guess its time to return it.

nope, not custom tuned
the chip does work if ya get it custom tuned cause mr.steve has trapped at 100 before.
the nearest place to get a custom tune is 3.5 hrs away though

Not sure how the unichip works, but let's understand the issue.
Under WOT, the factory ECU sends static (pre-programmed) values for timing, fuel etc. Now, the unichip probably bypasses this and sends out modified values for timing and fuel (this is static as well, I assume). The unichip may be beneficial for special weather conditions - temps, altitude, barometric pressure, humidity etc. as well as fuel octane, while the factory ECU has a more 'tame' map for general conditions. I wouldn't say the unichip 'hurts' your car's performance... it might help at other times - just that particular situation did not benefit from the unichip.

steve,
my previous best trap was 98.68 just last week w/ the pulley on, i know my car and how it runs at the track, the chip has done nothing for me, i dyno'ed the first map i got and now with the 2nd one i dont feel like dropping a 100 to get a dyno done, so i just ran it at the track w/o the chip in on a warmer day and made my decision.

Yeah I say send it back Darrin. Most chips only lean out the engine for more power, didnt you dyno with it and you were way lean?
Put that $600 towards a used blower, that's the only mod (or nitrous) that will guarantee 13's. I am not sure if even an e-manage will get you 2 tenths, maybe I'm wrong.

Seems like the emanage will be more expensive than the UniChip as well, especially with the PnP harness. Plus you gotta pay for them to tune it which will take much longer than a UniChip tune because there already is a map in the UniChip that just needs altered slightly.

i think i can get a tenth or 2 from cooler air, and maybe i'll do the e-man
prolly will never do nitrous or the s/c....gotta save up for that c6 z06

i can get the e-man tuned to my car w/ everything for around the same price as the uni-chip, if not a little less, my car can be tuned in under an hour, if u were around the area you would know dan from godspeed is the man w/ tuning

My chip should be fine for him without another tune. They added a bunch more fuel into the map based upon what the original map had. Not many changes needed to be made to get the power gains I saw. Basically 35% fuel is cut from 3500 to redline. With a few minor tweaks under 4% everynow and then up to redline. Also, not a whole lot of timing changes.
