Question Road race Motorsport piggy back

Just saw this on instagram, thought it was worth mentioning!
Apparently they'll be available for both the 350 and 250.... definitely interesting after seeing some of the other "tuning" items out there for our cars.



Thoughts?

Hmmm....interesting....please keep us updated when you get more info on this.

Unfortunately, I remain pessimistic based on the history of previous "tuning" options for the 2IS.

They mentioned that it was a piggyback attachment, and that it would "increase hp". Apparently they have been doing a lot of r&d, as many of the people that commented on the post seemed skeptical after the VR tune fiasco. They are in the midst of beta testing and final dyno tests.
Should be interesting!

Found this on IG the other day talk to the company running this. Figured I put it out here for the community to look into it.

They said they're been beta tester for the 3months with five tester and still testing it out. Once that done result comes after. Yet to know how it works or the outcome. At least they're unlike VR tune who threw it in a car ran 100mile after and said it was good to go. Just like any tune for these car only time can tell and be proving to work.

Can someone give me a brief description of what this does. Is this something like an ECU chip where it adds more power to the car?

Being from the Mitsu world, I've purchased several things from these guys before and they've been in the vehicle performance game for a while. I'm VERY curious to see what becomes of this! I would have thought to have seen a Split-Second module, but either way I'll be happy if it works.

Here's an example of the module for a Mitu vehicle; use as reference only :

Yeah 8whp is pretty disappointing for the Mitsu.

^But we pay more than double for an exhaust setup that makes roughly the same (probably less) on our cars. The link was an example, don't take the hp increases as fact of what will be added with our 2ISs when this module is released.

I think that 8whp on the 2IS is pretty ideal. I don't see them being able to achieve something like 20WHP.

Then you should go with VR tuning they'll gladly take your money with they're claim 25hp lol. Even if it 8whp at least I think these guys will be honest.
