I've seen the APR for around $500. I know it takes the HP to 200(they say) and torque to almost 250. What does the GIAC runa nd what is the increase in performance? thanks

Default Same thing

My advice is... go with the chip vendor that is closest to ur residence so you can get support. Go check out APR and GIAC dealer listings and see who has the closest dealer. I was gonna go GIAC but an APR dealer was only 60min away, so I went with APR.

I had a Wett for 3 years and it was great. I now have an APR S3 and think its awesome. It really depends on what you want. All of the 1 bar chips are close.
