Default thinking about switching chips....

i was thinking of going with a GIAC 1.5 bar chip and getting rid of my apr chip. giac offers lifetime upgrades, which sounds pretty cool, but i cant seem to find anywhere that has the 1.5 bar, only the 1 bar. how much more does that .5 bar give you? any experiences? anyone interested in a new apr chip?

Default 1.5 Bar scares me, to be perfectly honest. That's roughly 21lbs of boost.

Are you sure it's a 1.5 bar?
