What chip do you have, because not many chips for the ndbw cars actually hit 18psi since they are sold as 1 bar chips.

What is really 18psi and how is he "the guy"?

The GIAC Xchip runs 18-21psi.


People have pushed the K03 to well into the 20's, my custom GIAC chip ran 26psi on 91 octane. So 18psi isn't all that hard to believe since thats what most people push now.
