Pros: easy install, works well with basic mods, 30 day return policy
Cons: limited tuner files

I just loved what it did for my car - it tied in all of my mods giving me a stronger pull and at the same time smoother accross the board. Giac is a know ecu tuner and provides a 30 day return policy so you cannot lose. Install is done by a local GIAC distributor which can be found on their website - www.giacusa.com

Pros: Smooth, good power, tuned by Helix & GIAC
Cons: not much...

I've had MTH for a very long time. I tried every version available, from the first version when Franz was doing all the work, to the latest MTH Tuner version 7.

I got GIAC about 1 month ago because I wanted to try it and with the GIAC 30-day money back policy, I had nothing to lose. At that time, I had a 15% pulley. Well, guess what, I decided to keep it because it is so smooth and yet delivers power through the entire RPM range. I am not saying it is a lot more powerful than my previous MTH Tuner file, but it is definitely smoother and feels a little faster.

Then, I got JCW injectors and 19% pulley from Helix, with the GIAC software update. It really made a huge difference! It pulls stronger, and torque comes at low-RPM range. On the dyno, the air-fuel was perfect. I sent the dyno sheet to Helix and they comfirm it.

Bigger injectors are not "necessary" with 19% pulley, but it helps making more power by reducing the cylinders' temperature.

Bottom line: GIAC makes great softwares, and Helix did an amazing job at putting a nice kit (19%-380cc injectors-GIAC) together.

Pros: makes ur MINI pullllllllll
Cons: none that i can find

I absolutely love this product,
I got my 17% Alta pulley, colder spark plugs, Alta occ, and the GIAC all done at the same time, and the result was
AMAZING
it just pulls so hard, and the power is silky smooth, and stays on for so much longer, and the 200 rpm higher red line even shaved a tenth of my quarter mile time

Pros: Great Tune
Cons:

The flash is great to compliment some of those basic bolt-ons, and really harness their full potential. Acceleration was much more consistant, as I could feel the engine pulling continually through the rpms at WOT.
