You are right. If you need to use the warranty you need to bring it back to stock including the suspension. Very painful process.

I would also like to know. We hear about +100hp from a tune but as soon as they reverted back to stock multiple problems are reported.

Now no update for 2 weeks.

Kinda what I expected. I don't think 100+ horsepower from just a tune was ever a possibility. Likely some bloated claims by someone.

Default Batman emblem/logo

Guys,
ive seen batman stickers on all types of cars ranging from luxury cars, sporty cars and old junk beater cars.
What's the deal with affixing a batman logo onto a car. Easpecially on an expensive car.
I just don't get it.
Anyone care to explain.
Thanks

So guys, this one didn't work out well. I'm currently running on stock. I'm currently dealing with some issues with the tuner that needs to be resolved.

damn I was really hoping this worked out I was excited. Well hope all works out brother keep us posted were all behind you.. like stated earlier tuners can be terrible and say anything to try to get there rep up in the game. They give claims on what they can do on cars they have never really worked on and don't stop to think if they fail what consequences the owner has to deal with tuners irresponsibility. Good luck keeps us posted

Great looking car; I hope this works out for you.

Others on this forum have had good luck with 'Velocity AP' Vtec tunes. I have their ECU tune for the 'R' ready to go, but first need to see if I can follow the instructions since I am totally unskilled at anything to do with a computer. I recall the h.p. gain without the pulley is around 55-60.

You did have problems with the stock power output, did the dealer get that issue resolved satisfactorily?
Lawrence.

Dealer didn't help me out because of Non-Oem calibration. I'll disclose more once this issue is resolved.

Thank you.

That first run at the end of March is certainly way off the mark. That's not much better than what I'm getting out of the V6.
