All the more reason to go with a fully programmable system. In my experience most pre-programmed chips leave a lot to be desired espeacially some of those from the major Japanese tunning houses. All motors are different even those made by Ferrari and should be treated as such. It is possible to have two identically equipped motors running the same specs, fuel and map producing very different figures on the dyno. I have seen this a number of times and these motors cost about 80K.
