Interesting, watching this thread disintegrate itself.
I'd be intereted in what the tuning background is for our "master"tuners on a platform less than a yr old. What other tuning experience do they have and is any of it helpful.

Don't make this seem like because you didn't ask me nicely via txt now I'm not giving you anything. I wasn't going to give him or you the settings anyways, I might have hinted towards something. But if you have someone else tuning your car, they don't need my help.. John |

But I don't think that's what you meant. My a Subaru guy at heart but have done a lot of different things. I mostly stick to what EcuTek supports because they have great software John |

Just curious since most people I talked to about tuning mentioned a difference between the newer 2.5l wrx and the sti and how tuning one doesn't mean you're good with the other.
Seemed to me like any nerd with enough time could tune but to get a good one it's almost an art.

Im getting my vehicle tuned in about a month, want a tune personally from a tuner as opposed to buying ECUtech or whatever is offered. It was a toss up between Visconti or MotoMike not doubting Viscontis work, def a man who can tune the shit out of cars but, I know everyone praises MotoMike on his customer service and gratitude so I'll have him tuning my vehicle for me. Always nice to see some friendly competition on these threads!

Yeah, I understand. It was my mistake for not knowing exactly what entailed getting this calibration done. I thought it was like a data sheet coming from SIR that you just inserted to the tune file. Knowing now what it takes, I wouldn't have asked for it on the first place. Genuinely my bad for asking. The question in now remove from my thread.

See, just more excuses from @Visconti!!
"If you would've dialed the bat-phone with your left leg in the air while holding an injector in your right hand then pressed three to speak with Santa Claus..." It's all BS John, plain and simple. You don't like being "called out" or put on the spot because you're not half as good as you claim to be. I have reached a point in my career that if someone chooses to put me on the spot I not only take the challenge, I shove it down their throat. Apparently you're worried. I'm also gonna use your words here too: "Power isn't everything". Yes, you're 100% right!! Power is only part of what I'm after...Reliability..that comes to mind.. Great Customer Service...yup, I'd like that too! Timeliness..hmmm I do like people who complete tasks on time. So you're right, power isn't everything. For EVERYTHING you should check out @FA20Club.com Had to "feed the troll" hahahaha....

I received virtually no interest from ANY tuner in participating, unfortunately. I think it would be a great resource. |

Visconti has said No but FA20Club said "any time man" and that was it. It sounds like John is too busy with other platforms and I'd venture to say in a year or so we will all be thinking "what ever happened to that Visconti guy?"

I already have John's tune and permission to post results. If any of the other major tuners (Tony, etc) are following along with this, please contact me via PM so we can work something out. I'd like to provide an indepth comparison of as many of the major offerings as I can here, for the sake of ending the community's in-fighting, and for concrete, factual knowledge on who does what. For each tune I'll provide a same-conditions data log to each of the respective tuners. Each tuner gets one log/revision to dial the tune in for my modifications. We'll set the advance multiplier to 1 so there is no learn time to get full timing advance. Then I'll run each tune on the dyno with thirty minutes in between. Will also do a road test and document driving impressions, as well as cruise gas mileage. Thoughts? If anyone has comments or suggestions, let me hear 'em. |

I wish you the best of luck with this but I never saw this with the wrx sti or evo community and those have been around and tunes available for years.
I will say this, absolute numbers are useless if your engine blows up or if every time the weather changes your tune pulls timing. Also different cars will respond to mods slightly differently so 5whp would not be something I'd claim victory over.

I don't care so much about peak numbers, that only shows a vary narrow aspect of the total experience. I'm more interested in the overall drivability. Every car is different. I'm not actually looking to establish a "victor" here. As my other post stated, I'm extremely pleased with the power/drivability of my Visconti tune. I'm expecting both tunes will yield damn near identical results. I just want to put an end to the incessant arguing and give the community a decent reference to compare the various offerings.
