I emailed Dr Bob and got a quote from him he wants $260 for a changeover memcal or I can get one from the site sponsors Mace engineering for $150 non changeover. Which do you think will give the best result?

The DrBob tune will be a little more customized to your mods. It's my understanding that the MACE memcal's are a little more generic, and in some instances offered no gain what so ever.
The chip on the VT is a piece off piss to change, pull out the box from behind the passenger side footwell trim, undo the torx screws on the metal flap, pull the blue chip out and put the new one back in. Some recommend disconnectiong the battery while doing this.

Yeh I figured Dr Bobs would probably be a bit more of a custom sort of tune compared to the Mace Chip. Any idea where I would get a spare memcal from as I would like to keep my original chip if at all possible.

Financial pressures have obviously gotten to doctor bob, he just quoted me $280 for a chip!? I couldn't find any info on what effect it will actually have, I'm wondering if it's worth it
