Log the AFR's to see if they actually can change fueling.

I can't wait to see the results.

You're not that far from AZ, you gonna make the drive down? If so, let me know and I will get a few of us together and we can cruise over to vivid

The story of the magical obd2 flasher and the Guinea pig. I have really seen it all on here now. Please note the modes and gear the car is in during testing.

Isn't this a rerun of a cancelled series?

Oh, there's no way it's a flash of any kind. It's active spoofing of the data stream to the ECM.

In your opinion, is it worth a try? Vivid quoted me 600 shipped. I think it is cheap enough to give it a shot

^^^ Theres a few of us that would drop thousands on tuning if it was real... if you will do the testing to bring a 600 dollar option to the table im sure people would be excited to see results. Its just money, cant bring it with you.

This sounds like that Toms fuel controller thing... Long story short.....ecu relearns...doesnt work. Showing a dyno from a year of running it would convince me. Not this. Ive tried to have my car tuned similar to this... It showed gains but soon after I lost power. But your money do what you want

Showing gains from a couple weeks apart is not proving it works. I speak from experience. I have dyno sheets to prove the gain and loss. Sorry I dont believe this.

Make the purchase with PayPal and use a credit card with buyer protection just in case.

It seems that vividracing is a huge company and they own many of smaller well know companies. They have been tuning the BMW v10 m5 and porches for a while. Maybe they purchased a tuning company recently and that's why they are releasing flashes for many different platform.

Vividracing has a lot of resources...

Yeah I just sent my PayPal payment. Already to ship so I'll get it soon. Oil change and baseline dyno before I put the device on. They stated that the car needs to be driven 80 miles before I can dyno to see the different

Haha not planning in driving there. I'll be doing everything here in SoCal. Just need to get in touch of my source for free dyno runs. I have had 25-30 free pulls for my Supra before.
