Default it's even better on the 551M....

I'm waiting to see if the 551A gets even better than it was...

hard to believe isn't it?

Default How is it better?

What different tuning parameters did they use on the M chips that they didn't put into the H chips?

Why would they do that?

Default I don't know "What" is different... (wouldn't tell me)

but I've driven the 551A AMS chip and is was stinkin fast!

fastest and smoothest chip I have every driven

with very conservative boost (less than MTM)



UNTIL I drove X-Ricer's 2001 car with the 551M Abt chip

That thing is Stupid Fast...I'm hoping he got it to the dyno today


I'm hoping that the 551M ecu doesn't actually,

let you do more fun stuff and fine control than the A and H boxes


Oh well, just have to "wait like a dawg, begging for a piece of bacon "

=;P

and see what happens

Default is there any way to convert from H to M?

have marc or doug mentioned what we are planning for my car to you? you think an H box would limit me a little?

Default new wiring harness? I'm not that worried

what I'm hoping is just that that car was at the shop longer

because of a lot of work fixing someone else's stage 2 kit and returning it to stock

and that they spent a LOT more time with the M box

because of all the concern over hesitation and drivability on some other 551M chips

maybe they just found some more fun stuff that

they played with or maybe Abt found some other stuff?


I HAVE ZERO IDEA and am TOTALLY guessing about ALL of this

so aside from my Butt Dyno info, everything else is a WAG


I'm gonna hang out and wait to see what happens
