First off, love the GIAC chip, makes a huge difference (paid 650$ for the chip and install).
To people who want to know the diff in feel between stock and chip, feels the same until 2500rpm then it's like it gets a good kick in the pants
Now my questions:
The place I got to do the chip said that I should use 92 octane gas? Is this right, I've been reading that people say I should use at least 93octane???
I hear getting a better intake and exhuast will really add to the performance I get with the chip (like 10hp), this sound right? Should I go for a coldair, or just KN filter?
I need to do a DV soon, and may do the snub mount thing as well.

RE: Got chipped (GIAC), have some questions though
you use whatever octane the tune what written for. an exhaust will add some horsepower but not an intake. get that dv soon, and did you remember to regap the plugs?

Wow - $650 for chip and install? Man, that's pricey. You should have checked the forums and got a SpeedTuning chip instead. I'd really like to drive a car that has a GIAC chip in it to do a comparison between the two.
But as long as your happy, then it's money well spent.
RE: Got chipped (GIAC), have some questions though
the 2 chips are NOT the same
and yeah 650 is a little steep. its 400 for a dbc chip, 500 for a dbw flash. the dbc just needs some soldering to put in, shouldn't be more than 50. and for dbw it takes 5 min and a laptop, so there should be little to no charge.

umm... The guy mentioned that when I change my plugs I should come to him and get some better performance plugs.... But he didn't mention if he changed or gapped the plugs in there.... Looks like he's getting a phone call on Monday
