The car is loosing power because of the heat, in two of the runs it went on limp mode

How much heat?? Did you have fans running toward the radiator, intake, I/C?

You shouldn't be going into limp mode....

More importantly though, GIVE US SOME GOOD VIDEOS!!!

Well clearly if the car is going into limp mode, there's some issues there...I'm guessing the gains might be a little higher than what he got.

Also, I'm sure the UniChip has something to do with it, as always....

Yeah, I had three small fans at the Intercooler/radiator/intake. The heat inside that dyno is out of this world.

I was sweating like a pig, wmy shirt was all wet.

I dont think is the Unichip because I have down here in Puerto Rico 2 more friends with the same problem. The unichip maybe helps because of the extra boost or ignition timing I don't know but probably if you are running any other dme tuning will happen the same

One of them with unichip and the other without but we all have intakes!

Puerto Rico is like the worst conditions to dyno your car, humidity, heat , humidity and more heat.

6whp does not seam alot but for a car that does not weight anything its significant. Just like an f150 makes 12whp with my exhaust but the but dyno does not feel it because its a heavy vehicle.

Another way of looking at is is if your a 250lb fat bastard and you say you lost 10lbs. That basicly means you took an enima and had salad for a day.

If your girlfriend who weights 120 says she lost 10lbs then for sure its alot of weight.

I know my customers up north put down more on the dyno vs my customers down here in florida.

I was just reading exhaust depots fat bastard analogy then saw got.pho?'s next message and thought it said "are you having any eating problems during road testing?"

Sounds good though none the less!

The small difference is after 4k rpm.

If anybody got facebook, let me know I got 3 or 4 videos at the track.

I'd like to check it out on facebook...

I assume this is a custom DP. Is it? If not, who makes it?

Oh yea, and I like video 3. F*** stoplights.
