computer chip

My dad took me out for a ride in his bmw 330ci yesterday and was telling me about how he had the dealer install a stage 2 dinan computer chip that ups the redline from 6200ish to 6700ish, adjusts the valve timing, and something else i cant remember right now.. (he has a cai on it too and its fast as shit omfg)

anyway i've been looking around for one for my car (2000 tl) just for prices and info but i cant seem to find anything. lil help?

Think about the vehicles the engine is used in. Then how many of the owners of the cars, e.g., TL and Accord, are potential buyers of such a chip. It's not hard to imagine at all.

Well for one there isnt enough headroom left over for getting alot of HP from a tune. Its not that no one does it, its that there isnt really any to be had. The unichip was designed for our cars, was close to 700 dollars and only yielded about 7hp. Honda tuned these pretty good from the factory, There isnt a turbo on these cars to really take advantage of.

What site are you looking at?

Dinan Engine Software safely raises the rev-limit by 240 rpm, endowing your 330 with a broader power band and greater road speed in each gear. The software also removes the top speed governor,

Maximum Horsepower Gain +4 hp (when combined with K&N free flow air filter for stock air-box).
Maximum Torque Gain +5 lb-ft (when combined with K&N air filter for stock air-box)

Whoopee
