The power/torque improvements are small, 2-3% an average, but are across the entire power band. [/b]

Small??? "2-3%" on average "across the entire power band"... (remember "area under the curve"??? )

Let's see... If a car makes 150hp in IT trim, and can gain a "small" 3% increase in HP, that's an additional 4.5hp... Spread that across the "entire power band"...

Those cars making 200hp... that's an additional 6hp...

In ITA, for example... 4.5hp is worth about 65lbs... 6lbs in ITS is good for around 75lbs...

ALL of which seems quite significant to me... And that's just ONE of the potential benefits of this new open ECU/Wiring rule... as well as just an "average" increase... What hidden gems are still waiting out there to be found... (Here is a hint... NEONs, HONDAs, etc...)


It's all "fair and balanced", however, because now EVERYONE "get's" to spend the $1,000+ to do it...

Perfect...
