GIAC 2.8 30V chip review
Ok so i just got back from getting it installed. The first thing i noticed is that the ideal after i started the car was smoother. Then when driving i noticed the FLAT SPOT is almost gone. There is a small power increase around 4k RPM but its not sudden, its built up over time. I would say its a small bump and its noticable unless u watch ur tachometer for when 4k hits and feel for it. The speed and rev limiters have been removed but i havnt tested either of them. There is a fire by my house right now and alot of the big roads have traffic, the freeways are packed and grid lock, and the back roads i like to test on are closed. The install seemed easy and i was out of there in a little less than an hour. It was installed by Eurosport.
Overall impression, the chip was worth the money i paid for it. I wasnt expecting much and got a little more than i had from reading the reviews. It seems quit a bit faster, maybe 3 or 4 tenths of a second faster to 60 than stock but i cant be sure. Its alot smoother of a power band, and from what my instang MPG says i think im getting better gas mileage but no way to be sure until i use a full tank with the chip.
Anything else i didnt include?
Can a mod put this in the DIY section?
