Ive seen applications for the V6 from JET and Superchips, but I doubt both of those companies' claims. Best to go with EL Prototypes.

latez.

Now are you saying +17hp and +16 torque for NA or SC? I doubt those figures are from a stock V6 NA auto.

You can get almost the same benefit of the chip by hooking up a SAFC.

That is just what i read on a page. I dont know if it was na or s/c but thats the "clamed" gains. Personally, i would stick with the s-afe...its cheaper, and easier to retune

The horsepower numbers from E.L. Prototypes arent claims just ask them to fax you a copy of some of they're dyno runs with there ecu upgrades... E.L. Prototypes is number 1 major tuners for TechToms' here state side... For those who knows TechToms Jet, Uni, Super chips cant even compare to the quality of programming and chips used by E.L. Prototypes running TechTom chips and programming...

We have a shop here called Japanese Automotive (http://www.japanese-auto.com) that do TechTom chip tuning. The tuner is a Toyota pro-mech too btw and he's Japanese.

But anyway, ECU tuning is just not going to be in my future mods list.
