Definitely much more power than the blue stock 90 I drove at that 
time. Better throttle response, more power across the whole rev 
range, biggest difference in the mid rev range.
Probably some more power than Brua (Jacksonized 91A), too. But it is 
very difficult to make seat of pants comparisons over a span of 
weeks.

I drove for 50 highway miles with an 
"unprogrammed" chip, and it ran like crap
