IMHO, Steve is the only way to go if you want to chip the car. All of the other chips are cookie cutter, ie every '84 gets the same chip, etc. In addition, Steve will not increase the rev limiter above the Club Sport limiter which is 6800 (stock is 6450) unless you specifically ask him. Autoauthority chip goes to 7k which will eventually cause rod bold failure in the 3.2.

Steve's chip basically tunes the air fuel mixture and timing taking into account the fuel and other mods, if any, to a point that Porsche would not, and could not do.

I have given the car a pretty good work out and have not detected any knocking or pinging, at the high end of the rev range or when loading up the engine at the lower Rs.

Just remember . . . . you will need a roll bar to track that thing

Definitely gonna go with a Steve Wong chip. Just gotta figure out what pin configuration I have. Apparently in '87, Porsche had some with 24 and others with 28 pins.

Marc,

You're absolutely right...after the lowering job and chip the big purchase over the winter will be a roll bar......Now the question is do I go with a DAS bolt in one or others like the one Dulles Motorsport offers?
