The big thing you have to watch is when the battery is disconected you have to reset the controller, mivec point, number of cilenders and so on. The last dyno day I started to put the battery into the boot then ran out of time. I went and set the controller and then hit the dyno I was down about 19kws then seen that I had set the controller to 5 cylender lol.
Also if you look at cost for one to the power you get out of it you should look into the Haltech more power for your $$$

When i sold one on ebay it went for $40 from memory
I bought it not so much for the mivec changeover adjustment (you can't gain peak as another poster said, you might be able to gain a bit more overall power where mivec switches over), but for the shift buzz and speed de-limiter. One other feature too i think, but can't remember.

that is what I have been trying to say, due to the loss of power at the switch point (power line dips due to it running to rich at change over) then it has to regain lost power and then go on to make more power.Delvance wrote: you might be able to gain a bit more overall power where mivec switches over
when you up the mivec point you can smoth out that dip and get more power that way.
a number of members have seen this on the dyno when I have changed the change ove points.
But hay each to there own

I guess someone would have to test it on their car to determine where this best point is. I would also recommend the piggyback. say you purchase one for (i dont know ...$350?) spend another 600 on the tune. for less than 1 grand you have got yourself an additional 10+kw. power/money spent ratio is unbeatable.
