most of those cheap chip things, all they do is advance the timing, and increase fuel to your rpms. They just trick your ecu in thinking that you are at WOT even though you may be only at part throttle. Every motor is different so only a truely stand alone and reprogramable system that you make adjsutments when you are at the dyno, only truely works. Spend your $800 somewhere else.

why not get real fuel and timing control and a part you will need later for a SC set up? If I was spending the money I would opt for the Split second unit knowing that any problems you have hooking it up can probably be answered by Gadget in no time at all.

Split second



or if you prefer spending a little less for a product with maybe a bit less support check into Perfect Power SMT6

Yeah, the SMT6 is a great little product. I just picked up a brand new one for $350 shipped - it came with all needed hardware, etc. I have yet to install it due to the lack of a wiring diagram, but I don't suspect it will be too difficult.

I highly doubt you would see much gain on a N/A engine from these units. You might be able to tweak a little bit of power out of it, but not much.

I have tried a lot of different bolt-on items. Everything from elec fans to headers. The deckplate mod and exhaust are the best bang for the buck on a N/A vehicle. I would stop there and just make the jump to the SC'r when funds (and wifey) allowed.

Nothing compares to the power gains from the SC'r. I feel like a dork, but every time I get a chance to punch it in 2nd to about 5K RPM I get a big grin on my face.

I noticed you where discussing the extra injector feature of the SMT6, this map is actual quite versatile in a number of applications, its main drive is to control extra injectors but is you enable a global setting called NOS mode, it changes the cycle time of the driver from rpm to a stable set time, this set time allows you to control other devices such a proportional Nitrous control (don’t just dump it all in one shot) and even boost control.

The SMT7 goes even further with its Boost control map that allows you to set a boost target for 16 different rpm points.

I was also interested in the heading of this post, just so that you guys know the Unichip is a completely different company, Perfect Power units are manufactured by a company called DDS, they are also involved in a wide range of other electronic systems such a calorimeters and UPS systems.
