Oh, no...not again! Seriously, either is a great choice...GIAC more 'punch', APR smoother.

Default Two flavors, equally satisfying...

osmodius pretty much said it all, but GIAC P09 is more of an "APR" style program BTW, not a hard surge, but a nice rolling wave.

I've driven both....GIAC has more low end torque. APR has a smoother curve.

Default It matters if you want a chip that you can change on the fly (APR) or a chip that has a socket that

you can put your stock chip back in or change to an upgraded chip later(GIAC). But if it is power you are looking for then the GIAC will give you just what you are looking for!

Default GIAC used to have a selectable chip...you would step through with a push button

but for some reason I guess he ditched it? Wett had this as well...they could run 2 programs.
