Default Upgraded to X-chip program and added Tip-chip. Power is unbelievable

I never thought that there was going to be such a difference between the old and new program. The low and midrange power is 'ungodly'.
I also upgraded my sparkplugs with Iridium plugs (colder type), don't know if it did anything performance wise, but I finally got rid of that rough idling and driving after a cold start.
The tipchip made the shifting a lot faster.
All I can say is that my car finally feels the way I wanted it (way too powerful).
Once again, thanks to AWE and Giac for providing those super upgrades.
Tonight some G-tech testing, I will be back with more info.

Default Nice! How much did it all cost you...

I've already got the tip chip on order... Did you get an extra ECU?

Default Upgrade was free, the sparkplugs were $100 and the Transmission chip was $400(socketed).

I still have my original engine ECU just in case....

Did you notice much difference than sound on your exhaust mod... I mean did it help the chip?

Default Car became a lot smoother with scorpion catback. Faster spoolup of turbos.

It felt faster then just the giac chip. Since I have the X-chip and tip-chip, I feel like every upgrade I did is matched for optimum power.
