you can get things the speedo convertors that fool the ecu so if you have KMc dials you can read the mph correctly and they delimit restrictor
as for top speed had mine @230 (on private road of course) but think if road long enough maybe they could push 250?

when I tested my car it topped out at 250 this was done on the dyno I still have the printout to show it as well
as for the mod chips dstocks and I have haltech working on the trigers for the FTO so I would say get one of them
I had a talk with Dave at Haltech just the other day and he thinks they may have the triggers by Friday fingers Xed

Why would you need one? you beat a GTR by half a cars length ....

are you running a haltech unit now?
What do they do different than a Unichip? Better performance increase?

Yep, have a lot more control of what you can screw with. Cost more too though.

not that I'm gonna ditch the Unichip after I finally got my hands on one .. but how much are the Haltech Chips worth?
Are you getting an Interceptor? Or the new 2009 model unit?
What are the expected power gains likely to be?
and .. How much to Tune the Unichip vs the Haltech?

they are about the same cost to tune, and yes its the Interceptor
If you get lucky you could get one for about $650-$700 but you would be looking more at around $1000 aprox.
As for power I have been told it could be a 20 - 30kws but with a little luck dstocks or myself will be able to give you the 100% power from them

double the power and nearly double the price for tuning i would assume.
with the unichip depending on your current mods and how healthy your car is, you can squeeze 8-13kw atw
the haltech can easily get you 20kw+
tuning the unichip is about 500-600$ ... i still havent gotten the time to install and tune my unichip yet

you have to think about what your end result is going to be

hmm.. for 20-30kw thats quite a bit of a jump ... might cost me a bit more, but maybe it's worthwhile spending the extra to begin with.. especially if the tune will cost about the same..
Do you need to get a pro to tune it with a special device or so? or are you trying to find out the ideal config for an FTO from Haltech themselves?
I know each car is different .. might have diff mods or whatever, but would it be theoretically possible to get the right mappings & then apply those as a base point to start from? it would be ideal if you only had to make minor tuning changes / tweaks to get it running optimally..
