    What performance or economy differences would be expected with one of his tunes for a VS SII.

    Turns your V6 into a V8 Monster

    Or if you have a V8 you now have a Jet Powered Rocket

    Maximum performance VN VP VR VS V8 Commodore memcal c/o - eBay Mod Chips, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 25-Feb-09 05:40:34 AEDST)

    He may never get back to you if you pm'd him. Your better just to buy the chip off ebay. I know it says V8 chip, but just let him know what tune you want when you send the chip, as he does all different types.
    Alternitavly DrBob here does them too, but he charges about $250 last i checked.

    Hey what:0? if anyone wants one just watch ebay, pretty much I list them once a day or something like that but I allways have a few complex tunes I'm working on with people with wide bands and such so sometimes I'm a bit overloaded and don't list them for a couple of days so I can catch up, the more guys I work with that have widebands is the more I can learn and understand about how different combos behave so I allways like to spend a bit of time with them in the interests of the other times I have to conjour up the tunes out of my imagination.

    It's just replying to messages that takes all the time so generally I don't reply to everything. If it's a VN-VT and not ridiculous in specs it's a pretty safe bet to just go ahead and buy one and then message me with what you want. If in the extreme rare unheard of case I can't do it then just don't pay for the auction no problem but that's the easiest way get me into action

    If I got to choose the secretary, doubtful I'd ever be able to concentrate on a tune again so it's best not
