The stage 2 chip requires 91 octane fuel, and recomends a 180 degree thermostat. Did you install the thermostat and do you run 91 octane?

Zippy is as good as it gets with 3.8L.

yes to 91 octane and it runs great, no pinging/detonation. I will try 89 to see if theres a difference.

I haven't changed the thermostat yet. I will though, the operating temp has increased.

Intake- K&N 63-1553, would've gone with the AEM or busted the bank with an AEV snorkel but the K&N is dependable, the poly-mesh bags they sell for a reasonable price make cleaning the filter A LOT easier. +.02mpg avg, pretty negligent but sounds nice
