It's pretty nice to have a tuner with a in house dyno, are you guys doing any group buys?

what happens to stock ECU image after you guys tune the car?

Also are you working on a way for the customer to flash a map at home? like on the BMW and other markets.

Impressive shop and setup!

I've got a 2010 ISF and while of course I'm interested in your power tunes, do you have control over transmission parameters?

I'm thinking about a higher stalling torque converter and wanting to avoid slip codes and other things that happen when a stock ECU sees extra RPMs in the stall.

Do you have contacts that can re-stall an ISF torque converter up a thousand RPM or so?

I'm a former Subaru ECU hacker (IDA Pro and that noise) and a current HPTuners monkey, so I really appreciate what you're bringing to the table here.

Things seem to be getting interesting for the F, cant wait to see future possibilities and builds.

The gains should be similar to the car we posted but we do not have an exact example. The car we posted had headers, exhaust, and our tune. Every car is different but we do not expect a huge variance.

Do you have any shifting issues by raising the rev limiter that RR Racing has experienced?

This would be a great option for those who want a higher rev limit with good power gains.
Frank would be able to answer the RPM question. I do know he is working on a transmission tune as well. We will provide more details as we have them.

It is possible for a group buy, I can discuss with Frank and if we have enough interest.

Once we tune you for the first time all further tuning can be done through the OBD II port and we no longer will need to remove the ECU. We hope to be able to be able to flash the ecu in the future without having to remove the ECU, hopefully soon.

I know Frank does have connections, he visits Florida often.

Thank you, Frank is working on a transmission tune. I will have him go into detail as soon as he is available.

Frank is just completing a stock 2007 IS250 AWD as we speak. I will provide details and pictures as soon as I have them.

We are extremely excited about this platform.

I've noticed multiple people asking for numbers reflecting gains on a stock F...you keep avoiding the question....have you not done it yet or is there no gain? I saw that you had quoted cremaster on his question but, he didn't ask about the stock numbers on an IS250....he asked about the F bc you posted in the F forum.

please elaborate on numbers for a stock F.

I am sorry if we missed the question, we have not tuned a stock ISF. We have tuned a modified ISF with headers and exhaust. We are sure we can have gains on a stock ISF but until we have done it we have no data to share.

LOL what's up Chris! hope you're still enjoying the exhaust. my setup now is actually way louder but since moving, now our garage is completely detached from the house.

thanks for the clarification. i do not intend to install any other mods that will delete the cats; been there done that. in cali it's a pain. so, if no gains or minimal from the tune sans any other mods, it'll be a deal breaker for a number of F members who have asked this same question.

If all goes as planned we have a stock ISF coming in tomorrow.
