I'd still like to see some IS350 independent 3rd party before/after dynos, but if they are now claiming only 7hp increase for the IS250 that would be a pretty lame attempt at a scam. Vivid can't be thrilled with that result, but at least they didn't hide it.

I think its funny. Personally, I think Vivid shot themselves in the foot. You cant claim 20 hp / 40tq and then dyno and a car only put 7whp more. thats BS. They just claimed that the product doesnt say what it does. If they really backed it, they would extend the product to 60 days return period that way we all can have piece of mind. Even with an Amex, you cant dispute a charge after a billing cycle. Who is going to be the first to pony up the bread and get a 3rd party Dyno? Once I see a dyno sheet outside of Vivid. Im pull the trigger.....

I think the 20 hp dyno was the 350 and 7 was a 250

Even though there wasn't much of an hp gain, it looks like the lower rpm gained a good amount of torque. Should help out eliminating some of the sluggishness the 250 has during daily driving. It would be nice to know if anyone knew the guys/girls that installed the tuner to their cars already.

1) a forum member is one of the guys they dyno tested this on.
2) they didn't drive the car long enough to see if this will get reflashed out automatically from our car
3) ISF guy is doing independent tests with his car. He has done his baseline this week and will be dynoing again next week after putting some miles on the car, and again later down the road to again see if the results (if any) stay

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...
wasn't looking for an increase in mpg. was just curious to how much this would drop mpg if any.

Man Vivid is defensive on Facebook lol, asked them a simple question (that we've all asked) and they tell me to "don't knock it until you try it." Just tell us if it's useless after 60 days or not, how hard can it be!
