Aaah, my friend, I am working on that right now with my Alpine.

I have to say I am reluctant to chip tuning. For example, there are many guys here and there who are offering chip tuning programs for the Alpine. Most of them don't respect the maximum values a gear box can " eat ".
So, my way of thinking is the following, and I did that with many of my cars:
- Work on the exhaust line. Lighter, more performant.
- Work on the admission part: Dynamic Admission, for example.
- Work on the exchanger.
- Work on the oil and water radiators.
- And, finally, mapping the car, to check the Torque and the power, and in order to get them at higher revs.
But I first worked on the chassis, because as they say " power without control is nothing ".
The issue, compared to a simple chip tuning, is the cost. Which may be very high. But I don't want to take any risks with my engine nor with my gear box.
Best,
Nicolas
