Default Real world experience with the latest stage III software from APR and AWE

As most people are aware both APR and AWE have released more powerful versions of their stage III software or have updated their sites to reflect the performace of their most recent updates. On paper it would seen that the AWE kit still has more power than the APR kit, specifically with 100 octane (485 v. 525). However, these are the tuner's own claims and I'm assuming on different dynos. So my question is does anybody have any real world experience with both kits under the same conditions. I have seen various FATS times and MarkP has done a fine job of reporting dyno and 1/4 mile times, but what I'm looking for is real side by side observations. Thanks for the help.

Don't read the advertizements. Go drive one of each and get the kit that suits you best.

Default Admirable effort, but you are never going to find a "side by side" comparision that everybody likes

they are all "unfair" for one reason or another.

I have an *opinion* about new AWE vs old APR, but thats irrelevant, as i have not had any first hand experience with new APR.

I would, however, settle for some ECUx logs.

Default Would you do me a HP calculation off my FATS? Its a slim ECUX file, just the timing, MAF etc...

Have a laptop/ECUX thing I'm working on to get a better sampling rate. Lemme know.

Default You just want to see an APR car run an AWE car from a roll on video and based on that...

you will choose your kit?!?! Is that what you are after?

Default Not exactly

I was just trying to gather subjective information about the two kits under similar (preferably the same) conditions. No matter which kit you end up with its a large amount of money and I want as much information as possible.
