Great work again John - thanks for the effort man. Seems smoother low down and great all the way through the rev band.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm proud of my work and glad everyone is liking everything.

There's a reason I've flashed more BRZs then anyone else... Price and false advertisements has nothing to do with it.

Just remember you get what you pay for , and when you get a Visconti tune you get something that puts the competition to shame every time.

Thanks. I'm getting my ethanol tester tomorrow to check the ethanol content at my station. I was on the e70 map. But I'm pretty sure I should be running the e85 map since my cold starts still bog and stall. So the throttle response and torque would be a little more quick. Especially just from feeling how quick it has been on e85.

Since all the guys with Visconti tunes seem to be posting in this thread, I'd like to ask, who has the most miles on their non-ethanol Visconti tune? Still really want to do one of these tunes, but I've been waiting to see how they hold up long term.

I got my tune during the group buy. I've got 20k miles on the car, 15k or so on the tune. My engine hasn't blown up. It feels stronger then stock. I never saw an increase in gas mileage, but I drive spiritedly.

At 9k or so on my tune, initially there was a mpg increase (majority hwy drive time), but then I went back to work at my normal location and red light to red light kicked back in, but its holding strong.

Dude, when I said not to post in a ticket and then immediately follow up with a email and txt I also meant not to follow up in any of my threads.

There's just absolutely no reason for it.

It wastes my time and just irritating.

Please let me know if this is unclear , doesn't make sense or needs to be explained in a different way.

John

Looks like I missed this

You can install it on as many machines as you want, but can only be open on one computer at a time.

Good question !

Not sure how miles people have been racking up but haven't had ANY failures, NA or forced induction.

I also have several guys that road race which is pretty stressful and puts my tune to the test

Is it me or is there more low end grunt in this tune? 6th gear highway accelerations seem much stronger as well.

Thanks everyone for all the responses! And thanks to John as well for responding so fast. I'll probably pull the trigger on one of these tunes in the next couple weeks then.
