1.10 was the last best tune I got from Visconti. Hell my tune from FA20Club from almost a year ago feels better than Visconti's latest

its part cult mentality, part months of repressed anger of the fact that everyone loved the shit out of him for no reason. and after he was a douchebag the first time (back before the Crawford/McLaren incident where he did an interview defending the brz, the only good thing he's ever done), I always hated the guy. I disagreed w/ the way he did business and his attitude towards the people who were paying him money and especially to the peope who weren't paying him money. and I know i'm not the only one. its just that in the past when someone called him out, there was a swarm of imbeciles who defended the blazes out of him. now that that has changed, all the closet haters can come out haha.

Are you N/A? If so, is it really that much of a difference? I feel Visconti's new stage2 tune feels pretty damn good. But im always open to something better...

idk why you think that, every dynosheet I've seen shows my latest consistently making more power than my older tunes. Additionally my NA tune continues to make more power than other vendors. Which is not my #1 concern, but is a value point.

I agree with JV, my latest tune 1.14b4 is the best I have had so far

Sorry my latest tune was 1.14b2, so in all fairness B4 could definitely be better.

I flashed back to 1.10 after testing 1.14b2

Over the last several weeks I have been taking many datalogs of both my Visconti and FA20Club tunes. Using Virtual Dyno I am able to compare datalogs of 3rd gear pulls taken on the same road under nearly identical weather conditions. These are the 2 best logs (one from each vendor). I know others have had different results from these vendors but this was done for my own evaluation so take it for what it is.

i also got FA20Club tune recently after having Visconti 1.10 and 1.14b4 previously.

without having datalog/fine tuning done for both tunes, the following is my observation:

- Visconti tunes seems to have more low end torque than FA20Club tune;
- Visconti tuned engine feels less smooth than FA20Club tune;
- Visconti tunes seems to have a lot more NVH level than FA20Club tune, the interior rattles quite a bit more;
- Visconti tunes seem to have more engine noise up to 4000rpm, including when the engine is warming up. at between 3000-4000rpm, it seems to have some ticking sound when the engine is under load. none of these happens with the FA20Club tune. this might be the reason why the Visconti tune feels like having more torque.

personally i wish to have the best of both worlds, but i guess if i want the best output i have to live with the extra NVH.

i think your curves seems to match how my butt dyno feels.
