Well I had the GIAC programming done yesterday. It was $795 + $80 labor + tax totaled $950. I was told that there is a certain amount of "adaptive learning" that takes place for a few days as the ECU adjusts. Was told to drive it hard for a few days before drawing any conclusions. Initially, I did not feel much difference certainly not like I have experienced with chips in other vehicles that have been very noticeable. This morning it did feel a bit stronger. About the difference between having a passenger (200 pounds) in the car versus solo. The temperature was also cooler this morning so that could have contributed. I'll continue to "teach" it for a few days before making up my mind whether it was worth the money. Either way, I had to try chipping it to satisfy my own curiousity.
