Default So I go to race my buddy after getting my mods...

and what happens i barely beat him. Hmmm I start to wonder. So I double check to make sure im in chip mode on my Apr chip and we go at it again. And guess what happens, i take him by a hair.

I was wondering if anyone has had these issues with the Apr Chips?

Prior to having the chip installed and my true dual exhaust i was dead even. And after I get moded for an extra 60ish Hp and a 100 or so torque, i only beat him by a fender. Something doesn't seem right. Hey if someone from streetwerkes is reading this im probably gonna come by on tuesday to have the chip reflashed.

Default Do you feel any difference between chipped and unchipped modes?

Via the turn/cruise control stalk?

Default 60hp isn't going to give you the edge by several car lengths

Default I should be about 1 second faster than stock. And 1 second is a good distance.
