I saw your post. They are complete tools. You are asking if it still works after 60 days. They tell you don't knock it until your try it and it has a 30 day money back guarantee? Would you really spend money on a company that can't do math nor address the concerns of potential customers? So sad....

if their product was solid i don't think they would have to do any defending.

with all the bashing/unkown i think they should let a reputable member have a 30 day trial on the unit.

Novel uses SARD if i understand correctly. Although SARD does offer a tune for the JDM 2IS and ISF, they do not offer a tune for USDM 2IS.

Theyre VERY unprofessional. One reason i would never trust the product. They also are very horrible at learning their own product. Some of their staff tells people it will not work with ISF, others do...

Ain't catching me wasting any amount of cash for 3HP lol. At least the F Sport intake you can see (visually at least since ya can't feel 3-7HP) and hear the difference a bit that's why I purchased it.

Does anyone know what gear a 3is 350 RWD with the 8 speed transmission should dyno at? Also should it be in snow mode as well?

I know for the 2IS it seems 4th gear snow mode is preferred, but I was wondering how the 3is would differ.

I just got my flash module in the mail, and hopefully I can get some dyno pulls going soon.

Anything I should know to keep the results as accurate as possible will be great to know. I've never dyno'ed before so any tip/advice would be awesome.

Thanks all!

wow I read this from the front all the way to the back. I can't believe vivid would stoop so low to do this for a buck. I guess we don't have a simple way for this. I wish there was a way like honda, where we could solder in a eprom chip and flash programs to it with a program like chrome. wishful thinking......

We greatly appreciate you getting a baseline and post dyno pull with the VR module "upgrade". I'm not sure about being in snow mode with the 3IS but based on the gear ratios for the 8-speed transmission, you should try to keep the gear in 6th for a 1:1 ratio. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience and the dyno results!
