Post Sawanson Performance

I just have to ask if anyone here has Danny's new chip. He told me he has burned 5 or 6 already for lightnings. I find his claim of 40 hp to be on the high side and I was wondering if anyone can set this straight.
Thanks,
Alvin

40 HP could be there.

My L makes about 10-15 stock HP more than most persons L's that I've seen 325rwhp and with a custom chip I now make 25rwhp more, to 350rwhp.

It very well could be that all of the stock advanage that I had could be made up with a well programed chip.

Also I never saw 1 hp increase with just a replacement air filter(I have a $350 MAF and K&N air cleaner, that didn't do s%&t, think god I got it for free), but I do hope that Sals unit produce an extra 7 hp like he claims.

I'm impressed with Danny Swanson's claim of additional 40hp for the L'. I am more impressed that not only does he answer your e-mails he also answers his telephone and talks to you and he also has a 2000 Lightning.

I went to my bank and got a cashier check yesterday and put in the mail to him. I am real confident when he burns my chip it will be excellent. He has a great test bed a Black 2000 Lightning .

Yes Swanson Performance does have a Web Site.

You are right it does not mention the new Lightnings, however call him 310-214-9561.

Remember this is California... consider that for the time difference.

Thumbs up

Thanks for posting this info. I have been communicating with Danny by e-mail (he answers, what a concept!) and he claims a gain from 315 rwhp to 358 rwhp with no other mods. Looks like I am going to have to regege on my decision not to get a chip. What the hey, its only money.

alphadoggy,

I talked to Danny yesterday wondering if my check arrived yet. Needless to say I'm anxious.

What is real nice he will answer his phone and talk to you.

I'm jealous that you are closer to him, he is in Torrance .
