Mark Adams Chip
Discussion
A friend of mine has just purchased a Mark Adams chip for his 450 Chimaera (no setup, just plug in and go). We went out for a run (me Griff 500) together in our respective cars and I was staggered by the performance of the chipped 450. After a discussion afterwards we agreed that the 450 is now as quick as my 500 in 1st/2nd/3rd, but in 4th (don't know about 5th) he was substantially quicker than me :-(
Anyone here had experiences of the MA chip in a new'ish Griff 500 (my current one is a 2000 model), if so what are they?
I don't "need" more power, but am slightly miffed that my mate's 450 Chimaera is now quicker, especially since I was already jealous because he as a P1 too.
Cheers,
Neil

You simply contact Mark Adams, or as my mate did, get someone who has done it before/got the contact details to contact him for you. The information you have to provide is: model, year, engine size & whether it has cats or not.
It is simply a plugin replacement for the original. Cost at the moment is £350 +VAT, so not cheap, but simple and for my friend at least, very cost effective.
Alternatively you have a specially mapped chipped for your car, done on a rolling road (Power Engineerings I think) by the man himself, but I believe this costs significanly more because you have to hire the man and the road.
Search for "V8 Mark Adams Tornado" on google for a few good bits of information on it.

As said earlier in the thread, £350 plus VAT.
Your insurer will find out if you tell them, or they do a little more investigative work that you expect when you make a big claim. Don't doubt for a minute it happens, I had a friend who got his claim reduced substatianly after a write-off for having a K&N substitute air filter.
