You'll notice the difference right away. The chip APR makes raises the torque by 100lbs I believe.(at the peak of course) But anyways you get the point.

The best way is to send out some one ahead and have them check out the road, traffic going the other way and for any parked cops. Put in your earpiece on your cell and let them give you a realtime report on any cop action.

Naturally, all of this should only be done for the sake of science - like say testing to see if the speed rating on your tires is accurate. ;-)

BTW, I read that that RS4 is going to run between $75-80K, so it better be able to kick some serious *** on down the road.
