Installed it tonight, Current Setup E85, Borla Headers, TRD Exhaust, Shiv's Off the Shelf v2.01 Beta OFH+ESC with 1.5 Dump Pack Upgrade [USDM only].

First Off, I am extremely impressed. Very smooth power, the install was so easy we thought we did it wrong (I had very over qualified help, but he wanted to add the install to his portfolio) we basically did the whole install from the YouTube video(So good job on that, its unfortunate that so many criticized the product's validity when you were only trying to help future buyers...). The red gauge was a very nice touch from the green one I have seen in the videos.

As far as WOT below 2k, listen to fenton, it doesn't sound pleasant and you will quickly learn not to do that.

Test Drive: After some freeway driving and 4/5 lights I ran I literally a perfect scenario. I was at a light and I can neither confirm nor deny the following a 2013 Wrx (which I have been using as a bench mark) pulled up next to me. Neither of us launched, at about 10mph we started WOT, we were pretty much dead even pace, at alleged 60 mph, I had a slight pull, 70 he slowed down to turn. Though not incredibly scientific, it gave a very good "rough" idea over stock of where this car is now. I'm not saying you'll be lighting up wrxs at every light (at launch, we all know what would happen), but power lvl wise on e85 shivs tune with headers and exhaust is very capable of holding its own.

Afterthoughts: For how easy this is to install, for how cheap the overall cost is, and for how usable this power is with no big ticket supporting mods, its literally an untouchable mod. The guy who helped me install has been working on cars for 20 some years, and has had his frs turbo'd, supercharged, and is now going to LS2 swap, even said it put a grin on his face. Not that you really need anymore customer base with your growing line for this item, I was a skeptic with an open mind, and for what it is you've really out done yourself.

Suggestions: Really the only suggestion is to put the paper instructions in the box (was a hard copy supposed to be in there, and mine was just missing?) Not a big deal, but just saves some fumbling around when you have all the pieces out and and think they are some where in the packaging

Fenton and Rob, awesome design/future planning, good customer service, and thank you for making such a unique product happen.
