If you ever run better then 93 octane fuel, look for an X box.

Haven't yet, and I doubt I will. How would you rank them on 93?

Default X will run like a beast on 93. ABT probably won't take advantage as much of the higher octane

I ran the X on 93 and it definitely felt stronger then the ABT I ran on 93. ABT wasn't advancing timing as much, in fact it was pulling timing some. But it could have been just a faulty chip.

Default practically dead even on 93 octane, abt has much better throttle pedal feel IMHO.

and i've done more than enough highway runs to know
for sure...
course, YMMV

Default If you don't need the headroom then the AMS chip is quite smooth, however the X on the H box

Is really close in comparison to the smoothness of the AMS. Just think for the price of the ECU's and the support and updates the X is the better way to go if you must choose between those 2 companies.
