so the X-chip provides much smaller gains than an '01 APR chip? ...
or are these figures not for the X-chip, since it says 91 octane? I'm lost. I thought the X-chip puts out more and we even had dyno plots to prove it (including yours from AWE).

Yeah, they don't make much sense.
For all comparitive purposes it would be fair to say that your car is making 170 whp, and approximately 215 crank.
My numbers were identical to the two other X chipped cars that ran that day, and almost identical to silver surphers X chip dyno (he had made more torque however).
I don't know what the differences may be considering you use European gas.

I think the APR CH chip and the X chip are about even. Difference I've seen on dynos could be
attributed to individual car variences. The only head to head dyno I've seen had the APR making ~2hp more than the X chip but the X chip making ~5 (??) ft lbs more torque.
