Default sard cuvu evolution

It looks like sard makes a plug and plag ecu tuner. Novel in Japan is starting to use this to start tuning the ISF. I asked novel if this will work for American ISFs and he said it will. Interesting to see what kind of tuning can be made by this product.

iv been speaking with taku watanabe
he says

Taku Watanabe About 30 H.P. can be raised only by ECU Tunig.
Furthermore, if it unites with heders & Exhaust system , a total of about 50 H.P. will be raised.

If I had full I/H/E, it wouldn't be a bad idea for everyone to chip in for his plane ticket...

Soooo if we go with the Sard products link, it shows 210,000 Yen (incl Tax) which converts to $2688 USD... I say not a bad for 30+ hp and 50+ hp with bolt ons! I'll be down for one, if it would work with the USDM F's and depends how it will need to get tuned. Theres no dyno out here where im at, so I wonder if they would have any OTS tunes or if we can plug into the CUVU and upload the map for them to E-tune ???

Im in for updates!
