We may be in luck, I just spoke to a Miller Performance rep the other day and they should have a W.A.R. chip for the 175 ecu within the next few weeks. We will see, Miller doesn't have a good record with the M42 if anyone remembers their attempt at the maf conversion.
Those of you who have not read about the W.A.R. chip, it is a chip that replaces your stock eprom chip in your ecu, and with the provided software, you can plug your laptop into it and change fuel and ignition maps as well as other things. From what I have read, It is similar to Hondata which I am sure some of you have heard of.
