Default Improvements from the GIAC TipChip??

What kind of performance gains thru a 1/4 mile does the GIAC tipchip net?

I have an A6 4.2 which gets thru the 1/4 in 3rd, so I was wondering what improvement the GIAC tipchip will get me by reducing the shift times for those 2 shifts, 1-2 and 2-3.

Default I have the tip chip in my 2001 A4, and found a profound difference...

in the shift times. Much cleaner shifts (no more hunting and hestitating, especially downshifts). Hard pressed to say now whether one could consistently shift faster with a manual. Definitely worth the money IMO.

Default

what difference if any did it make for you in the 1/4? Have you run before it/after it?

Default No I didn't. However the driveability is much improved, so I would imagine the 1/4 would be better

as well.
