Thank you sablur.
I have been in contact with Shiv; getting to know the car/mods/driving, and I understand it takes time to achieve the optimal tune. Just looking for comfort in regards to when a baseline tune would come around since its going on three weeks since the last time I have been able to move the FR-S.

Shiv/team will send you a base tune, get you to install it, then you'll need to drive and data log for a period of time, and send them the logs. They'll analyze it, send you an updated tune, and you repeat the process for several iterations (max 7?) until they/you feel that the tune is as optimal as it will realistically get. This whole thing can take days if not a couple weeks to get through from start to finish.

As for delays in even getting that process started... <shrug> Busy guy?
