Default i am so confused. performance chip dilema...

I want to get a performance chip but I really know nothing about them. I see several including ones from nuspeed and the GIAC one sold through AWE Tuning. I am still wondering if it is really worth it to chip a 2.8
Are there any other options? What is gonna be the best value? what company is most reliable?

Default Get the GIAC chip. I have heard that it really helps the flat spot around 2,000 RPM's.

You will be making a little over 200HP and it increases torque as well. As far as I know, GIAC is your only option for chipping the 2.8 V6.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=1&amp;PEI=3&amp;PP =a4_28_chips.cfm&amp;PPT=Chips&amp;IL=GIACChips">3 0v GIAC chip</a></li></ul>

Default Take it from a 2.8er...

go GIAC. I've had mine in for 50,000 trouble free miles, and Tony installed mine while I waited.<ul><li><a href="http://www.pes-tuning.com">If you're in eastern PA</a></li></ul>
