I wonder if I should install John's stock tune and then try the Stage 1 tune.

Wonder if this is due to an exhaust valve timing change

It was almost too much noise. It sounds amazing without the tube.

Has anybody tried the 0-60 counter? When I tried, it just steadily rose to 1.0 - 1.1 until I stopped accelerating at about 65-70 mph.

Am I doing something wrong? What could that be measuring, since its obviously not a 0-60 timer?

Right, and mine didn't do that. It just did a steady increase from 0.0 to 1.1 as I accelerated to 70 mph

Huh. Mine seemed pretty accurate although could be luck. Tried out auto blip and not a fan. Pedals are great for good ole heel toe and already used to it. Call me old school though, have a feeling I won't be using the racerom features much. Prett cool though. Didn't try flat foot or launch. I thought response was quicker from off to part throttle from previous tune but could be in my head. Will do some logging tomorrow and thrash it a bit.

I am one of the original 12 to buy the tune package, I have had my cable for almost 2 months and have had my car for a month. Still no tune. :\ I have a 6speed and I filled out the form at least 2 weeks ago (for a second time)

John, could I please get an ETA on this? I am not trying to bug but I know people who purchased months after me already have their tunes, I would appreciate some update on mine.
