help me understand something about chips......
the hp, and tq for the giac and apr chips are at the flywheel? if so, what is the numbers for it at the wheels? and what is all this talk about giac having more power than the apr??? some people are saying it is a rumor while others say giac in deed has more power. all i see is a few more hp and tq, so it can't make it all that more powerful right? someone please explain this to me. thank you

The average typical loss in measured HP from flywheel to wheels is about 15%....more..
Perhaps a little more with quattro (however it is argued that quattro more effectively transfers the available power to the ground)

Regardless of what the numbers say....
Drive them back to back (I have) and your "butt-dyno" will notice a difference. The GIAC is more powerful on the low end. The APR has a smoother curve.
