I chiped my truck and I love it. You can get 3 settings,a modified 87 octane 91 and 93. You will see a big change in the shifting and the hardness of the shift. Which help fuel use. If you go to (Performance, Engines and Troubleshooting) and then go to (Computer Chips and Tuners) leave a post for Ken he the man on the chips and tuners.

For your information ktmracing, assuming NZed follows a similar octane rating (RON) to Australia.
"Thier" 87 correlates to a little below our 91.
"Thier" 91 is a little below our 95 and thier 93 is quite a bit lower than our 98.
