    I own a F355 Spider, and I been wondering how many 355's owner has actually chipped their car. For those who did, was there any regrets? I went to the SuperChip website and they discripe that for the 355 there is an increase of 15hp. Is this worth the while?

    I think there have been a few threads on this... However - I think you might get some higher end tourque, but loose on the lower end or vice versa - so the gains would be sacrificeing one side or the other... So from the old posts - probably not worth it...

    Get a tubi - you might gain a little hp (but again this is not certain - some say you do, some say you don't - same with K&N air filters)... But with a Tubi - it sounds faster :)

    I also put some shields on mine - seems to improve my speed as well :)

    Richard,

    Thanks for the reply and your comments. I already have challenger Exhaust box fitted by the previous owner. I previously owned a 348 and the 355 is an improvment in terms of driverbility. It has to be as it's twice the price. I think I've go get some sheild. Best Regards

    I worked on a chipped 355, it had a little more power, but the idle was a little rough. It didn't have that clean stock idle. Save your money for an ehxaust. Buy a Capristo.
