Default GIAC-X is sooooo much smoother than MTM IMO......

Just installed it last night and man..........it is soooo smooth. Low end pulls as hard as MTM but high end pulls all the way to red line which MTM is not able to deliver IMO.

X-Chip Rocks

Default I have, throttle response is worse on the X chip than the MTM

and I beg to differ on the pulling hard to redline ;-)

Default BTW, I know that MTM chips sometimes have an issue in the 3-4k range

but there's a solution for it - and it works very well ;-)

Default I have it the other way around

Had the X Chip and simply could not stand it. I went with an MTM and felt it was much smoother. Worth the loss in power in my opinion.


Quick Reply: GIAC-X is sooooo much smoother than MTM IMO......
