Can anyone help me decide on a chip up-grade to my AUIII XR8? What are your prefs, what chip do you rate, do I need dyno tuning etc. Have patience with this newbie!!!

Nice EB, did you have it re-sprayed?

EBTS50, when I said be patient, I meant be REALLLLY patient.

Mate, I have done zero to the car. Had it for a year, it was a Telstra Exec's toy, done 40,000km, dont think it ever got over 3,000rmp. So thats the background if you have a sudden urge to care! lol.

Can you give me a 1, 2, 3 for the Windsor? ie; where to start?

seeing as u have an au xr u may wanna consider a flash tuner as they are now available.

They seem to be the goods and pretty well priced compared to the brand name chips

If your budget is ~$1500, I wouldn't bother with the exhaust or filter. Just not worth the dollars at this stage of the mods.

As mentioned in the other thread....just get a custom tune with the edit from a very good tuner (e.g. Bluepower)
