worth it for shift point changes and rear gear adjustments. power tuning, it's a car by car thing. i gained a tenth with the power tuning for NON RFG tuning. but others lose power. you can find them used on here and the "other" board(ls1.com) for about 200. that's what i'd do. the adjusted shift points got me .2-.3 by itself. it was optimizing my setup

I've heard some sketchy things about super chips...LadyRedhawk over on the SLP board had it done and it really messed up her car...I have the HPP3 tuning for the rev limiter and thats about it... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

With your A4 though it will be good for the shifts
