So, what's up with Buffalo dyno days?

[mkii@nycap.rr.com (Josh Able)]

stock ecu? if that were the case I would be pushing stock numbers. :P

its an ATP chip which is crap. The only way to get a car like this running
"right" is with stand alone. And thanks, but I will pass on the Tec brand
stuff.

I am looking at other brands, but SDS is very high ion the running since I
have  a pretty tight budget for this winter.
