APR lists 91, 93, 100 AKI calibrations. The output range above spans APR’s published Stage 1 results; APR does not assign every figure to a fuel grade in its written summary.
These figures are total tuned horsepower, not horsepower added. APR’s written specification does not provide a separate numerical gain for this application, so no gain has been estimated.
Results vary with fuel quality, vehicle condition, hardware and test conditions. Use the fuel required by the installed APR calibration; verify the exact ECU application before installation.
