We can bring it offline, but just need your e-mail address or AIM so we can share some experience and issues/fixes.

Default Not this again ... hehe ...

You have to decide what your looking for, different kits have different strengths. Also depends on what ECU you have.

Based on your handle alone, AWE may be best for you Search around a bit ...

Default A Box, I would say Achtuning/AMS Stage 5. Just my opinion based on

what I've gathered on and off the forum. If you can get to Colorado, Sportec is an option. But if your looking for off the shelf then Achtuning/AMS Stage 5.

AWE is strongest on M. APR is strong on M also.

No one focuses on H, I'm told the AMS Stage 5 runs about the same on H as A.

Flame suit on. Lot's of info in the archives.

Default You have it, right?

how fast is it as of now? Maybe you can give me something to compare with so I have an idea...

such as a FATs pull in the 3rd gear, or if you've raced any car that is well known like...M3, Z06, STi, S4 Stg2+...?

Thanks

Default yup...

on 91 octane with low 70's ambient I recently ran a 4.21 sec. 3rd gear FATS pull. From what I'm hearing, I should see sub 4 sec. with the next revision. I'll post my times when I get it.

Default yup :-) here's some feedback.....

I'd say my A box is running fairly strong and powerful, but not as healthy as I'd like. With the current revision and 4bar fpr I'm running, I have a slightly rough idle from random misfiring that typically triggers a check engine light once a week. As well, there is occasional slight bucking when lifting off of light throttle. I expect these issues to improve greatly soon though.
