I think if I were to make a guess, on average, ReVO 1, APR 1 and GIAC 1 will all be within about a tenth or two of each other in a 1/4 mile dragrace to 110mph. That's a car length or two. That's about 10-15 whp as well. That's nothing really on a 350-360 whp car that makes just as much torque and runs to 100 mph in about 10-11 seconds, so none of you guys should really sweat the purchase too hard based on performance. Hell throw lightweight rotors on your car and you'll match the 'hottest' tune if your tune is 10 whp behind.

The decision will be made based on who you guys like better, who you want to support, who offers the best value, who offers a next step (stage II pulley and tune etc.) and so on. If you want someone who meets all of those criteria, they don't exist. It's APR who has the stage II (but REVO should be along shortly with theirs) and REVO offers the best value. The 'who you support' is subjective.

The way I see it from a performance view though is that you can't go wrong.

All good points Sak. Unfortunately it's coming down to avoiding who I like the least :-(

Let's do it. We'll coordinate to get both our cars to as similar condition as possible (fuel, spare/tools, etc.) and see how they compare. =)

What fuel do you plan to use? I'll probably pick up a 5gallon can of VP MS109.

Revo's claim for A4 B8's with Petrol 2.0T engines are crap. But they're spot-on with their S4 B8 numbers. Truly amazing stuff...
