<E36> Sizzling Dinan Chips

<Anybody else experience the following symptoms with a Dinan chip in an E36
M3:>

Richard - After 3 attempts by Dinan to produce a chip that would a) not cause
detonation @ 3500 - 5000 rpm, and b) not LOSE horsepower and torque (dyno
tested) they and I finally gave up. I suspect the 'sizzle' you are hearing is
actually fuel detonation, although mine sounded more like a 'snapping' sound.
I'd be interested to know if you've had your car dyno'd with both chips and
what the difference - if any - is. I thought my car must be faster with the
Dinan chip installed, it kinda felt faster. I paid all this money. . . But it
wasn't. My mental dyno was overruling my butt dyno. So you are not alone, my
friend. Return the chip and get on JC's waiting list. You'll be project
number 1,000,003. Right after me.    -Austin  '95///M3
