Default Fair price for GIAC A box?

Guy is looking to get $600 with the 91 octane program. Fair price?

What happens if I use 93 octane? Does it automatically adjust?

That is a good price. $700 is still a good price IMO.

Default Is it fair to assume that the 91 program...

is NOT the same as the X ?

I wouldn't assume anything. Find out what file is on there. I have L308X which works w/ 91 oct

Default Looks like it is the X file...

can you comment on your experiences w/ driveability? Can you compare it w/any other software out there? Seems like GIAC is tops in power but you give up some smoothness.

Default Lots of reviews out there. I've driven MTM, APR GIAC.

GIAC is definately the most lively & most powerful & fastest. Takes a bit more effort to drive it smoothly.

APR, very smooth, great power across the RPMs.

MTM, smooth, lots of low end grunt, dies out up top.
