    Yeah i read through that thread.But this memcal package with the knock sensor and harness (they mention that it will increase power for example
    VR V8 from 165kw to 185kw)They also mention it is the HSV chip/memcal (note the resistor trick which lots of people keep talking about).They have a buy it now price of $290 plus postage/handling.

    What i want to know is it worth purchasing???Will it do what these people say it will???

    It also mentions that they have over 2000 positive feedbacks..I dont know,i want to purchase it and want it to work as they say.But also have heard some people say it doesnt work properly...

    cheers bryan

    the memcal with (or without)knock sensor does work but the "resistor trick" doesn't. as suggested above contact Dr bob (PM) or have a look on his site Rob's Creative Calibrations he will be able to do the same for you for less $$ probably and maybe give you a beter result then what you get from ebay. if you have any mods he'll do the memcal to suit etc

    Nope, has a code though. When i took the standard tune out of my VS Senator it didn't have anything in the way of "HSV" or "185" or anything like that on it.
