Default chip question 01 225qc

which chip is the most adaptable? thinking either revo, giac, or apr(obviously). i like how you can control the apr one through the cruise control stalk. as far as performance they seem close to the same. is one more upgradable or better at updating with mods? or is it all the same, jus pick one?

Default I also like the way APR can be changed without adapters....

most will say they are all about the same, pick one that is local to your area for the best service.

Default I've found...>>

That APR, being "slightly" more conservative and a good all-round program, is very adaptable to my stuff. All my testing is done on my car (APR 93) so I know what works and what doesn't. This flexibility allows you to make the car into what YOU want, not what some tuner thinks you should have. I'm sure a few will disagree, but I'd much rather do my own tuning and understand what works and doesn't.... Some of the Euro oriented programs (Dahlback, MTM, OCT) are a bit more sensitive and resistant to change though I have Stage 3 mods on MTM and OCT with good results. Consider local support as well. APR has always been good to me..
