Sonoma's The Racers Groupe

[quicksilver77]

Hello 996 Forum!

I am considering a custom tuned chip upgrade for my 01 996 C2 Coupe. The reason I want a custom chip is because I have a Fabspeed cold air intake, as well as Fabspeed mufflers (HUGE THANKS TO IZZYANDSUE) and I would like to maximize these upgrades, as well as exploit as much power as possible from my lil' 3.4L (no supercharger yet)! I have heard great things from a few reputable sources that The Racers Groupe (TRG, henceforth) in Sonoma California is the premier custom tuner. I am inclined to agree when you look at their ALMS record with their P-Cars.

Has anyone tried these guys out? Every time I call, they are always super busy with an up coming ALMS or World Speed Challenge event. Are they worth the wait?

Also what are the advantages of a piggy back chip compared to a hardwired unit and visa versa? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

-Sean

my car was built by them, but so far the follow up customer service has not been that great. If you are looking into a chip you should look at the GIAC, great setup and just a flash and it will maximize your other items you installed.

I have the uni-chip piggy back currently and I do like it, and you can adjust it via a laptop and DYNO when you do more things...

TRG is a great organization that has many commitments. They may not be your best starting point. You are a tiny fish in a very big Porsche pond.
