Default thrown back in seat under hard acceleration

Hello

I'm wondering if you chip a 180 fw TT do you get a considerable feeling of a push in the back when accelerating fast. I don't mean that you will be thrown back in your seat but ...
I've heard that the TT's don't give this feeling because the torque is almost a straight line instead of a peak?

Thanks

Default Stock torque curve = flat, modified = more 'surge'

Stock torque curve is nice in heavy traffic because there is less need for shifting.
But when performance is needed it can be annoying.

Most definitley! I have a APR chip and Forge DV and it definitely sucks you into the seat under hard acceleration. I loooooooooooooove my APR chip. This is what the factory should have delivered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With flat torque you stick back to the seat and stay there all the way.!!!!!

Default Yes you do.

I've gone from a chipped 180 FWD to a now non-chipped 180 FWD due to a dealer busting. I bought the car with the chip and so got used to the "g-forces" of hard acceleration. However, now driving the significantly less-torqued stock model, I miss that neck snapping feeling.

I plan to re-chip my car when the warranty runs out.
