After the Upsolute GTG in the NW we went for Italien food. Me and Garrett led the little caravan to the Italian place and could not resist sooting Fred behind us with the new chip and TB. I think I heard him chooking but he was all smiles when he stepped out of the car. This was a great GTG with Great people. Thanks for coming Fred and a special thank you to Garrett for making the trip to the west coast- what a great bunch of guys.

Heinz, Good seeing you today and wish I could have stayed around longer. Thanks for making this GTG happen. How many GTG attendees and upsoluters today? If ok with you, I'll look you up before I order my TB...now that I've tasted the dark side (aka soot-filled back end of my car oozing power) I want more!!

Outstanding test drive going north Garrett. While you guys where eatin Italiano I was grinning ear to ear as I kept putting the metal to the floor. My gosh, what a great time before, during and after being chipped! Really enjoyed the GTG. Thanks to all and I hope the rest of you new Upsoluters are enjoying the transformation. We have now been assimulated! Fun huh?

I was in Portland, OR and missed the GTG
but thanks to Heinz and GarrettP got chipped Sunday night.

I can only echo what everybody has said about Heinz and Garrett. Spending a few minutes while Garrett expertly desoldered, reprogrammed and resoldered the chip in my ECU made me only wish more that I had been able to be there Saturday. My six-year-old son was kept entertained by "two nice ladies" and Heinz' dog. Thanks for that too!

It was raining most of the way home so I couldn't really exercise the chip too much, but the car does have a lot more punch at freeway speeds in 5th gear. It's pretty amazing how much faster it gets up to 80 (ooops!!).

I had hoped to run some pre-chip benchmarks to do some comparisons, but the power is definitely up.

Thanks again, Heinz and Garrett.
