VAVolvo Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Drove up to MD today to meet Oliver (the mastermind behind Speedtuning) to have my ECU upgraded. The process took like less than 15 min but he had to make sure that the car functioned properly. We drove around town a little bit and I could already feel the a major difference. The big difference in HP is when the engine reaches the Rev. with the opitium HP, it is there I can feel the most boost. For $325, it was well worth the trip (got to play around with a Corvette on the way back on I-95 ). Anyways, Oliver said that is was a good thing that I got my exhaust and intake upgraded, is help the engine make full use of the ECU.That's all I got to say about that...PEACE!

VAVolvo Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 ok? come on. I love my speedtuning chip!!← Yes, I love it too, even Yellow Billsteins...wait a minute, aren't they just cheap knock-offs of the real Bilsteins? And of course, the real Bilsteins would only come in yellow (as far as I've seen). PEACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GShyneDM Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Oliver and Speedtuning has done us Volvo's good.Of course.. this chip is for the folk not wanting to do more than exhaust, intake, and ecu in terms of power upgrades... Switching turbos? custom this and that? Call up Upsolute or RICA who can test and tune to your precise A/FI love my ST chip! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hey everyone,My 98 c70 hpt has the speedtuning chip and I will be hitting the dyno during the dyno meet coming up. My only mods are the chip and a k & n filter so I am interested myself in seeing what it will do. I'll post graphs after I run. If anyone plans on attending chime in on the post at the top of the page. We still need a few more people to get in on the cheaper dyno prices.matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 tell me more about what you feel, is it more powerful through the whole revs or do you only notice it when you stomp on it and hit higher rpms. is it a large increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
