I agree, the ABT Chip does make a noticeable difference.  Really makes
my auto 90 much more drivable.  Always had the steamrollers on the car
so no comment on the wheel weight issue. ((245/45 17, Hancooks, with the
Snowflakes, S4 wheels.

Knock what off... I haven't done anything!

 My meaning behind my comment.....
[quote]Rim size/weight has nothing to do with it.[/quote]

... is true in this case. Seamus said his car was lazy ect.. well then
there is something wrong with his car if he can't feel the power that
the ABT chip gives the car. & has nothing to do with his rim choice on
his car rite now.
 As I said... wheather or not I've had my near 50lb 885's or my
reasonabley LW //scar fuchs the car runs like a bat out of ever loving
hell with the ABT chip!

 Thats all I was saying.... the chip is that good!!!
