We knew what u meant... Or atleast i did lol

Can that eliminate the governor?
Can it alter the rev limiter?
Does it have any control over the drive by wire throttle?

Im sure theres reflashes that are better options than that uchip

LOL I have about one more payment on the Z so I think I'm going to keep it. Only reason I would sell it is to get a brand new Black Series GT-R. But crunching numbers I'd have to add another year out in this shithole. So I've been looking at some used vehicles like; Jeep SRT-8, V8 M3's, V10 M5's.

I don't know... I'm leaning towards the SRT8 Jeep. SUV... Powerful V8, Aggressive looking, AWD. Throw some wheels and some bump in it and call it a day.

M5

car is full of win. Period.

Though the srt-8 is a neat option, it is still a jeep.

I know M5 is awesome but it looks old to me.
In my mind it's for old people with money, like those 50 years old guys with a grouchy wife kind of thing, lol....it's just me, though!

Where is the 20+hp number from? Is it whp?

Plenty of local tuners can give u a base dyno run and a few pulls to reflash the ecu to your mods and rid the governor adjust the rev limit and possibly give closer to 100% throttle (since from factory giving our car full throttle really only gives u about 70%) for the same price and u would know real gains
