I have been there done that. I had a 2000 Audi S4 that I chipped and it turned the car into a beast. 6 months later, I was wondering if the chip was still working since the car just seemed fast, not beastly anymore. Of course the chip was working fine, I was putting out heavy torque and 300 hp but you just get used to it.
Better handling however is a lot more fun - and it will continue to test the limits of your driving ability. These cars are fast enough for what they are. They are not Porsches, Vettes, 350Zs, which are true sports cars. We have luxury sport sedans. Oh well, I guess my point is that you won't even notice the 30hp after some time, so you may as well leave well enough alone or put the money into suspension or whatever else floats your boat.
