    Chip and Cams advice?

    Hey guys looking at getting a chip and perhaps cams as well for the vr6. what are the best and most reliable brands in your opinion?would also appreciate help on who in sydney could do this for my vr6?

    Obviously giac is on my mind but ive also heard of pretty respectable options such as powerchip and chiptorque.

    Steve looks like you've just been here done this whats your opinion lol?

    thanks all in advance!

    US chips wont work in our ECUs.
    certainly lots of cheap cams available in the US though. Have a chat to Seb maybe. Chasing power in a VR6 is expensive business. Just ask Steve!

    Another option may also be MTM. They are quite reputable and I'm sure they do stuff for the VR6 also. Give Milan from TCCA a call also whilst your doing the rounds...

    Have spoken to MJM about this via email, they will include the proper spec chip in the package.

    From what i gather i don't think you'll see a huge rise in power, just a different power curve. Maybe a bit fatter mid range and fatter top end, feel free to chime in with your experiences here Steve.
