chip upgrade

Any of you Cayman guys had a chip upgrade put in your car? What kind of results did you get?

I had Shark Werks do the GIAC chip upgrade with the EVO Intake. The car feels more lively off the line and seems to pull harder through the rev range. Not sure, however, how much is the result of increased HP vs. remapped throttle...
Also, I seem to be getting slightly better highway mpg. (Odd, I figured it would have killed my milage but it seems to actually have helped slightly)

That's because they probably leaned it out a little more. Do you have the sport chrono Midnight?

No, I didn't like the clock "thingie" on the dashboard so I didn't get the Sport Chrono. I would have prefered if they made the Sport button a seperate option but since they did not I went with the regular setup and then the chip upgrade.
