Ovtune ECU tuning experience/review

18-24whp is still better than the claims of the other tunes available so I'll take what I can get. But the fact that they said this is on the conservative side of things, we may potentially see more since the 2is isn't as complicated as the 3is and RC. Also that 25-30 lbft down low should really give the car more of a nice grunt in daily driving... Also really curious to know how this will change things for our drag times? I could see an increase of 2mph in trap speed as a possibility. With maybe 2 tenths knocked off as well. But time will tell I suppose..
Man, I can't wait to hear what you guys gotta say about the tune. Please update the thread ASAP guys, once you got it on your car. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas right now haha

Let us know how it does! And if someone can get a 1/4 mile pass and a 0-60 time before and after that would be awesome!

Question for all of you, how do you get in contact with OV Tuning to send them out my ECU? I don't see any instructions or directions of any kind on their site?? Heck, I don't even see the option to tune our cars lol. Also I noticed the 3IS tune option is $850? What am I missing?

Well I just got back in town and waiting at my door was my ECU flashed and ready. I went ahead and got it back in the car, got it started and gave it 30 minutes to warm up and reset the ECU.
I went for my first drive and from a stop you really can feel the torque changes. I need to get my Torque phone app out and run some tests but so far seat of the pants feeling has changed, and it is quite noticeable.
Dyno will have to be next week.

Well. . I was scheduled to get tuned today, but they never got back to me, so I didn't make the drive from OC to SD. Little upset though because I took the whole day off for this so I guess I will have to wait till next week.

What?? That's a bummer.... The fact that they haven't replied to my email either doesn't speak well of them. I'm hoping they are just booked right now so they can't handle everyone at once or something. Because if this tune ends up not being as great as they made it seem, or not really anything special, I'm gonna be sad

Well, I know they are busy and I think it's a one man operation. So I understand if they cant reply. Try messaging them on Facebook they usually reply to that. I don't think this speaks much about them. All my past interactions have been great with them and I think they do quality work with good customer service. **** just happens sometimes, especially to small business owners..

from the little I have driven it really woke up the low end grunt in my 09 is350. here in Utah we don't get 93 so I put 91 and some octane booster to take it to 94ish.
