I'm N/A right now so I offered to 3rd party test it for them on their Facebook page before I piece my blower kit back together. We will see what they say. Lol.

Go like my latest comment so I can prove or disprove this thing. I'll do a full log of my driving over the break in period and do before and after Dynos for you guys. If it works, it works! I'll be honest with how I feel about it.

To get their attention I need you guys' support. Go like that comment!

^I hope they come through because we can definitely take your work for it IF it helps you out using a third-party assessment.

Did no one else recognize that those VR figures were pull on a notoriously HIGH-reading Mustang dyno?

Vivid racing couldn't pay me enough to lie for them. I promise you that. The owner could sacrifice his first born son at my feet and I'd still call them out.

At the same time, I'd absolutely LOVE to eat my words on this one.. Because that gives me hope for tuning as well. I may not like vivid as a company, but if you break ground I have no problem giving credit where credit is due.

Ive looked everyday and in many different fascists to find reviews. I simply cant. There is a lot of vr tuned products on amazon, yet nothing to back up the claims. Coming from the VAG world, I see VT has tunes but the VW And Audi guys always stuck to APR, REVO, or GAIC. Over the years UNITRONIC came along as a solid competitor, yet these 4 are staples. Again, even in that world, no mention of any VR Tuned products. I'll reach out to a few tuners that I know and see if I can dig more. While like most, I want to eat my own words, since I want a tune......its seems this is just an expensive BS hoax. Personally, I am hesitant to dump 700-800 bucks on a non working item or an item that will not work after the 1st month its installed. Lets face it, this isnt a honda. We're tuning a Lexus. Every move I make is clear and calculated with regards to mods.

I was reading the posts and it seems that VR is more interested in mocking potential clients rather than trying to back up their product claims. I would like to eat my own words, but I doubt this will be promising. I guess the one good thing that will come out from this is that we now know one vendor to not do business with.

This isn't one of those things you'd do to try to improve mpg... Just sayin'

GTFO, seriously!? Probably said it was "soliciting" or something.

ASDFGHJKL - They're right next to each other lol

I doubt you'd get a whole forum to ban your product. It would be nice though...

Not sure what to say about the auto flash though. Still awaiting independent results from people.

Why do i feel like they only added intake and exhaust and redyno it. Then the 5-7whp came from the intake and exhaust
