as far as the 96 ecu in a 96.. yes. you should see far greater gains than i ever did on my car.

we did a clayton dyno pull w/ a 96. gained like 14 in the midrange. but everyone says its BS cuz "its a clayton" which adds a load to the wheels to simulate real world environment.. other than just spinning a huge spindle like dynojet.

the ecu doesnt take that long to relearn everything... a mis conception. if you run the car with the ecu for a while and unplug it. the ecu keeps its memory. its not like its a flash memory card and just loses everything.. it will will still be there.
so the swaps on the dyno aren't that off.. so..

well. anyhoo. my offer still stands for Dave B.. i can fedex him my ecu anytime.. just he has to take it to the track. and dyno it. and fedex it to me back.

Sounds like Dave B needs to step up to the offer. Should put some doubters and haters to rest.

Ptatohead what sort of trap speeds change was there though. both 1/8th trap speed and 1/4 mile trap speed. 1/4 mile times don't mean a whole lot in my mind... people have good days and bad days at the track. Trap speeds are usually a better indication of a cars power, since they are much less affected by the launch. [/B]

O.k., sorry for the delay Neal. I averaged the trap speeds for the G-Force and stock ECU just as I did the 1/4 mile times (dropped the worse run for each and averaged the best 6 runs). The G-Force averaged 0.73 m.p.h. faster. Once again, using a Trap Speed/HP calculator, that's a gain of about 2-3 HP.
