how u like your GIAC flash

For all the GIAC m3 out there. How do you like it? Is there noticeable power and how does it compare with the other tunes. Did some researching but There\'s not much on this flash. only thing I got is it\'s a conservative flash and over time there is alot of carbon build up on the exhaust tips. I had this flash on my 335i and loved it so I kinda want to go back to get my m3 flashed.

My current Porsche and previous VAG cars are had GIAC flashes, what's wrong with their BMW one?

Over on the other boards all the top runners in time trials are on GIAC.

GIAC is a great reflash, just not very popular with the M3 crowd

I don't think I can go wrong. GIAC has been great in my other cars.

Giac is more well known to the n54 world in BMW terms but for us here main tunes are bpm, ESS, evolve, aa, velos, oe tuning, etc.

I am sure they make a high quality tune. Given the tunes don't seem to even mess with the timing more than a couple degrees advanced if that, any quality tuner with that much experience like them, I am sure can manipulate the VANOS maps and a couple other factors to get a nice 10hp bump which seems to be the standard.

With that said given ESS, MR Benvo and SAL all have ez flash options for at-home, and have all proven results, not sure why one would not go with one of these 3.
