To be honest NO it wont not really. May give you 5-10bhp if that. If you want to you could get a remap config. I had one for my 2.0ltr gave it a bit of omph but not alot acceleration was abit quicker but that was it.

erm....You can't chip a 3.2, only remap.

Its the 3.0's (and maybe 2.5's) you can chip

Don't apologise!

Its a fair question!

on a 3.0 It DOES make a difference, enhanced performance for about the same fuel, or enhanced economy if you drive the same.
They are my approx findings anyway.

my chip made no difference ! no improvements on the RR figures were obtained!

i had a collins chip though

3.2 problably requires Angel tunning (Flashing) easier to do and problably cheaper

Superchips quote about an 8bhp increase, IIRC.
