Southsong has GIAC programming on his 3.0 manual. I took a ride in it and noticed the difference.

I still think it's too expensive.

Default I've had it for about 9 months now.

If you don't have plans to SC, then I'd take chipping route. otherwise I'd put that money towards a SC.

GIAC flash took care of throttle response to some extent. It also freed up in the upper RPM range, but you'd hardly notice it in the normal street driving.

I have the GIAC chip combined with a Stratmosphere Hyperflow and Neuspeed exhaust.
None of the individual add ons does much alone. But together, the engine feels noticeably stronger especially in the mid range.
