I have a 1998 M3 Dinan and I saw an ad for a Surge Performance Chip that claims to add an additional 35 horsepower. Has anyone ever used this chip? Is it worth it to buy this? Is there another performance chip that is a proven winner that will add this much horsepower that I can get for my car? Any comments and recommendations would be very much appreciated.
Don't bother with performance chips or don't bother with the Surge? Is there anything else I can do to raise horsepower over the 300 range without supercharging the engine?
yes u can...ull get 300 crank HP, not 300 wheel...
u can go obd1, but u wont pass smog.
u can add a intake, exhaust, cams and a good performance software from Dinan, Turner Motorsports, or Active Autowerkes...btw, u dont have a chip in ur car, u have to shark inject ur ecu...
I have the Dinan S1 Package which includes Dinan Stage 2 Engine Software, High Flow Cold Air Intake, Free Flow Dinan Exhaust, Dinan Strut & Tower Braces and Stage 2 Suspension System with Dinan Performance Springs with Koni Shocks and Struts along with 22mm front and rear anti-roll bars.
I forgot to mention that I have about 278 hp with the setup that I have right now, so adding about 10% more would get me to the 300hp that I am trying to get to.
