i asume your talkin about the HSV 195i memcal? if so, then the answer is no. its a combination of memcal, knock sensor, exhaust, headers, and CAI that make it have the extra power.

the 195 engine also has a different cam, even Powerchip dont claim to get 195 out of a std engine.
the guy on ebay that sells them claiming it will make 195 is full of it.

not only that but he would probably just re-register and sell the same crap again if he got his username banned

VT Executive V8 5.0
I upgrade and repair computers and deal with bottlenecks and how to speed up computers on a daily basis.
On that note I eliminated all bottlenecks I could think of on my 1999 VT Exec V8.
Custom Dual pipe exhaust.....
Extractors....
Air Intake pipe and pollution cartridge replaced by something that pretty much looks like a pool filter cartridge and heat guard.
Even replaced exhaust sensors. (do not have the cash to replace catalytic converters for hi=flo ones yet).
With all this in mind....Is there something particular I can do to the Chip to factor in all the above mentioned improvements ?
Can the original chip be reprogrammed accordingly or do I have to trust a non holden replacement chip ?
Regards
Doc
