hey guys, im looking at getting a Dr Bobs chip for my 3.8 vs manual and was just wondering if anyone has used them and if there worth the $$$, thanks

when i had my vs v6 i had Dr bob do me a chip.

to give you a idea i had headers and cat back also ss inductions cold air intake. Once the chip was installed i had put on a dyno. the car had 240,000kms on the clock. i had the whole 120rwkw.

what did the chip do?
well it made the car more responsive to drive. power mode would hold gears longer. the best improvement was fuel economy. i was able to get 700km out of a tank when doing full highway driving. around town would get aroun 550kms.

was it worth it?

for the money i paid yes. but dont think once you get it the car will be some fire breathing weapon. at the end of the day its a V6. without going force fed air or stroker its noto going to be that quick.

If you are after better economy and a littl ebit better throttle response then go for it

thanks for that nanos i think i will get this chip, mainly because iv got a few mods and dr bob can cater for them just to get it running better for the combo ive got, idealy id like a dyno tune but this chip should be better than what ive got now, thanks again.

well said nanos thats spot on its not gunna breath fire or eat v8s but pound 4 pound prolly not a bad investment last time i read apost about v6 chips it spun both wheels fully sick gunna take on all commers till he woke up only thing sliding was his hand.

they make a good difference i got my old vp v6 from 17 seconds on a gtech to 14.2 with just exhaust and about 100 tunes one after the other
