Default just curious about something....why a race chip that runs on 92?

if you have a race chip that runs on 92, what do you use for 100+? what's the difference b/w the two?
Switching from standard stage 3 program/93 octane to stage 3 race program/100 octane is as big of a jump as going from stock k03 to chipped k03.

Default Scott you should come down to the drags next week. I am testing the new clutch out

and there might be a non dbw stage 3 car there too. I am also trying to get Russ(1-bar) with his K04 to come down too.

Default I have the new chip that is tuned for 103 octane race fuel. That is the one that I use at the track

now but could not launch the car because it would smoke the clutch because of all the tq it make over the other race chips. I will be going to the races next saturday with the new clutch to test it out with the 103 race chip. This is the chip that should get me down to 14.3, it has done 14.6's with 2.3 60 foot times.

Default What bluff are you talking about and why does it matter how many are in my area.

The point was there is a list of stage 3 owners that are waiting to buy the PES kit to replace their bad stage 3 kit.

Default the bluff is I think it's bull****...

again, you're posting supposed "information" with NO backup whatsoever. Where is this "list"? How about some names, since you say there are so many...at least add some validity to your post. Kinda like your post of Bing's dyno chart; without verifying any of the details you posted it as a representative analysis of all stage 3s and further slammed the kit. My chart proves otherwise, as have many other stage 3 dyno charts.

And I'd also like to know what's so wrong with all those "bad" stage 3 kits....LOL.

Default The only one is Kurt's butchered stage 3 install that an unnamed tuner ruined...

and where the owner refused any help on the part of APR to diagnose the problem. Said owner refused to tell APR WHO installed it, and refused to allow an authorized installer come (on APR's dollar) and see if it was done correctly.

If you used your head Mike, you'd realize ANYONE that spends money for a stage 3 and it's not working WILL call APR. So it's documented that there is only ONE stage 3 you could EVER be talking about, and the ONLY one you could even come close to knowing about. I know he's tight with your crowd.

Default Does he live near PES or here in LA. BTW chris why would I give you a list of people that are

getting rid of the stage 3 kits and buying the PES kit. So you can go tell APR and have them call the customers up.
