Reb03, where do I buy one of those chips?
go to www.davisnet.com, click Automotive on top, click CarChip in the left margin to read up on it. I actually bought mine from a vendor on Amazon.com. You can also find them on eBay.

I also used 2nd gear in turns 3-4-5 (I think) but every time my car shut down I was in the fast turn 8-9 combo. I would get power back near the end of turn 9 or at the beginning of the front straight where I regularly saw 125mph.

I'm considering the SSTT. I haven't heard of a single CEL or problem with this piggyback. Max boost is 11psi at sea level and I feel this is well within the acceptable reliability range of this engine...but who knows.
