About a month ago i made the switch to REVO from APR . All i can say is this program really rocks! There are many differences between the two softwares , that id like to share with you all. First thing id like to mention is that when i first purchased my APR program, I did love it , there was quite an increase in low rpm punch , and i did DYNO my car with APR program, a K and N drop in filter and an AWE kat back exhaust at AWEs Facility and i did get extremely high #s . My highest #s were 240hp and 250 ft lbs of trq. to the wheels, my lowest were 225 and 235 to the wheels. I thought that was great , but TODD from AWE did mention to me that although the #s were high , power dropped off early in the RPM range . At the time i did not know exactly what he meant, cause i thought it was all about #s. NOT TRUE,but ill get into this more later. I then started having many glitches with my APR software , and decided it was time to move on to another company. Crew a fellow A3 owner convinced me that i should try REVO. I have heard alot of good things about REVO in the past so i decided to give it a try. At first i didnt think there would be much difference between the two , but i was really wrong. Although Revo and APR request similiar boost the revo software is alot more liniar, the power is not as direct as the APR software but is spread out through the entire rpm range. Now i understand what Todd from AWE was telling me. The APR software would hit really hard down low and then it would stuggle in the higher rpm range, power would fall off about 5000 rpms , Revos software although may not throw me to the back of my seat quite as hard but the power is spread all the way to redline without any interuption. Although i have not yet Dynoed my car with REVO software, i can tell you the car is alot faster with REVO. I f you hit the gas in any RPM range the car blasts off. The power that is generated with REVO is alot more evident on the highway . 80-110 is very fast, believe it or not 110-135 is just as fast. Well any ways these are my thoughts, im Very happy With REVO. aNY QUESTIONS FEEl free to ask.
