Talking Jet Chips for the TL-S

Howdy Performance Nuts. :-)

I just got a response back from Jet on whether or not they will have a performance chip for the TL-S.

Their answer was yes, probably sometime in September or October of this year. They said they just needed more time with the car.

I'm wondering what the improvement results will be. Place your bets. :-)

Thumbs up

Isn't our engine just a de-tuned NSX engine? I know the NSX breaths better, and has better exhaust (from the headers back, not just a stupid tailpipe, kids). But, if the NSX gets 290 hp, maybe the chip can bump ours up to 280 hp? Then how hard would it be to get that 300 hp everyone wants?

Oh, by the way... I prefer mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic. Mmm... yummy

Play nice...

i tried it...potatoes improve performance but only if one exhaust pipe is lower than the other
