Chips for custom engines

[tom.murphy@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hello BMW Experts!  After attempting to get a custom J.C. chip for my
hopped up
     engine, I had to "settle" for an alternative supplier.  It seems the
tuners in the
     North East haven't bought Jim's software for the E30 325i.
          So, I now have the Garrett chip!  Garrett Lim is well known in
Porche
     circles, and also on the 'ti' digest.  He does a lot of chips for drag
racers, and
     supposededly he beats the other chips more often than not.
          It took about six hours to get a chip burnt that we were happy
with, going         through about 25 chips.  We then did a bunch of 1/4
miles, using a watch to get
     times.  From the feel (butt dino) and watch, we were probably breaking
the 14
     second barrier.  This is faster than a stock E36 M3,  and I asked him
not to push the
     timing to the limit!  We then tried to get HP figures from a G-Tech to
compare the
      new chip to my stock chip, but I think I was too inconsistant.
          Please, no flames for not using 'our boy', but I bothered Jim
enough trying
     to get a chip from him.  Nothing wrong with a little competition,
anyway!
          Now I want to drag!!  Or at least get to a dino.
