Default Q: re chips, what's the best software on the market?

hey everybody, i know a lot of people that swear by the ABT chip; however, i've been reading a lot of literature regarding chips lately and every company seems so convincing. at the current moment i am running APR EMCS w/ my KO4's; however, i've debated changing bc i have heard that other chips are better. any opinions y'all???

thanks in advance,
-ZKNY

Default You got K04's and you need to ask this?

Now a normal man would've done their homework before diving head first into a $7k+ project.

And if you bought K04's and are running APR software you didn't buy the kit I take it?

You would idealy be running a company's full K04 kit....And which software is trivial.

Default every company will tell you the same...."ours is the best..."...you should see if they would allow

you to try their software for a while.

Do you only have k04's or have you upgraded the whole fuel system and intake as well? This should also narrow down your search.

For what its worth, I haven't had any problems with my APR ecu...and their customer service rocks!!!

How do you have KO4's and no idea what chip you want to run?

When you say "other chips are better", what specifically are you referring to?

Default i know theyre all pretty legit, but i was curious...

i know theyre all pretty legit, but i was curious if people with other setups think that there's a better performer out there!

and when i mean better performer, i mean, which MAKEs THE CAR FASTER. each one has certain characteristics that are different tho, no?
don't some drive better in the lower gear than others? doesn't the punch come in later with others (i think the APR does)...

just wonderin cuz i'm debatin to switch, but convince me otherwise,

thanks in advance...
