Revo- r tech - apr.. Line them all up and i can assure you there would be barely nothing between them! Most probaly wouldnt even notice if someone came along and loaded a different map onto there ecu
Absolutely, in terms of outright power the basic st1,2,2+ maps produce roughly the same BHP across the tuners, and the only significant difference in how it drives would only be where a customer has specified how they want a certain delivery, otherwise they would be fairly similar -this would also be the case for a custom setup for non-mainstream hardware (like James), this can't be compared like-for-like with another tuner.
The difference is "behind the scenes" in what your hardware is doing to make the power (Superchips evidently maxing everything out at low revs being an example of this) , and the health of your bank account.
Each tuner offers their own querks and uniqueness which will suit different tastes:
- Revo SPS switch (really this is a must if you have a Revo map), anti-theft feature
- APR for the cruise control switchable maps
- R-Tech for new Traction control mapping, hard-cut launch mapping, switchable using pedal combinations, anti-jerk mapping
(Think Revo & APR may do some sort of launch control and hard-cut limiter also but not sure). All the above offer linear throttle mapping, although IIRC R-Tech are the only tuner that offer a true 1:1 throttle map.
Pretty sure all that ^^^ is factually correct, but if any tuners want to correct me then feel free
