Tip in knock is completely gone on all our tunes. We needed EcuTeK RaceROM in order to accomplish this though.

Tip in knock is a thing of the past in our tunes as well. And it is accomplished using EcuTek RaceRom custom mapping.

Ill check and see how it goes with visconti, i just want to be able to rest assure that my car is not only performing well but also safely , i did a number of custom maps myself which ran incredibly smooth actually, but i just dont trust that it is the best for my car, as in everything theres no replacement for experience. and that i do not have tuning cars like ours. been out of the tuning game for about 8 years just tuned my sleds quads and all my freinds toys. used to be into it back in the omg thats a rsx days :P

I can for 100% sure vouch for @DeliciousTuning Roms being free from tip in knock. They are extremely smooth as well.

He just hired a customer service "guy" @sales@delicioustuning.com that has been very good at responding to most of my PM's in a timely fashion. Much faster than most correspondence with FA20club. When I had the e-tune done through Bill he stayed up to approxiametely 11 at night to get me running, then the dyno session went till 10 at night. That's pretty good customer service to me. He also has a great amount of knowledge with ECUTEK check out his expierence on his website he's tuned some high profile stuff.

Problem is you picked the two worst reputation tuners known across the boards to begin with. If you had before hand asked openly here who can provide you the best E tunes known you would have saved a ton of cash and time. That said while I know you said you're giving Visconti a chance, truth to be told that's more waisted time based on numerous accounts given here time and time again. Go with the (proven) names and proven vendor/tuners that have been mentioned here for sure.

91,93,94 are all available where I live. 91 most often as it is certainly "most common".

yah im sold on the vpower 91, it seems to be consistant and the DI crickets are wall less noticiable that compared to chevron 94 which is great gas when its good, but when i get a bad tank it knocks and bogs more than the vpower, pretty sad. i run vp octanium to bring the octane up which works very well but man shes got a stench to her, smells pretty strong. i also run 1/400 shell ashless 2stroke oil in my gas and i have completely killed the crickets car is very silent and does not smoke at all, oil stays very nice doesnt seem to contaminate it. o2 sensor i check every week and nice beige color no deposits. been 2 tanks of this mix has been good ..

Well I am only a few hours from the refineries here so its always pretty fresh. As far as crickets the Husky 94 here is bad, otherwise most all others have zero noise etc. It's all on ethanol blend & the processing payments and requirements of different clients, all of these fuels are made and sent from only 2 refineries to begin with (for ALL of Canada), that's fact as I used to work at one as a process operator.
