First, what are your mods compared to what OFT lists for the map you have?

My car seems great, do you mean your drive by wire seems laggy, or your not happy with how peppy the car is?

Feels like a bit of both.

I'm running uel stage 2 with uel and catback. I have a nameless combo in the garage that I just got in the mail today. Can't imagine that'll liven things up a whole lot.

Haven't gotten around to reflashing it yet.

Still stock intake? Do you have a mid pipe?

Lugging a car around doesn't help anything, it'll start to pull timing/ping if you try to accelerate to to high of a gear. Does down shifting make it feel any better?

Forgot about NF but Im sure theyd be willing to tackle it. Also probably on ECUTek.
LJ is basically the only experienced 86 tuner in the cities. Ron is awesome, but won't get ecutek, Shane doesn't do 86s either.

Still stock intake. I've read that I'd be better off taping a couple hundreds to my intake rather than buying an intake. When I realize both are pointless I can spend the hundreds (haaa). I was planning on just doing the K&N drop in filter and possibly modding the intake box to be less restrictive.

I have the nameless mid/over combo. Just got it in the mail yesterday and wont have time to get it on until this weekend.

I know that Shane has tuned one or two. I forget what on though. Jordan is a great tuner by all means but yeah, he uses BRZ edit. LJ probably is the best choice considering yeah, all of his current 86 experience. He will not use OFT/RomRaider though for anyone who may be wondering. Though, I did not grill him too hard about it. Just sent an FB message.

Tbh I don't really remember but I'd guess just as bad if not worse.

Hopefully the new filter makes a difference. I'm not terribly worried about it until I get into trying to adjust the tune. ItS just kind of annoying in the mean time lol

Someone else go drive his car, see if it's the mind of the driver or the car.

I just know it's a world of difference from my rsx.

I'm guessing it's just the woes of dbw vs dbc
