I agree, doesnt matter what car you have, Lambo or honda civic takes nearly same amout of time and effort for ecu tuning so prices are going to be similar and dyno prices as well.

Guys to be fair this does not mean we won't reconsider pricing in the future. Currently we do not plan on making any changes but we can revisit the subject in the future

We have a good feeling overnight tuners will be coming out of the woodwork to make a quick buck in the future for this market as well as tuning companies with large marketing budgets that are trying to tap into this platform as well for a piece of the share.

We are a small company that is pioneering development and will have to remain profitable to survive. In the long term our customers keep coming back to us because of the quality of our work and customer service.

We do not look at our customers as customers, we look at them as part of the TTFS family.

So the ecu doesn't reset it self back to stock like other tunes prior?? And if I get it tuned now and then layer get headers would I have to send back the ecu?

No the ECU does not reset itself back to stock. No you would not have to send your ECU back we can send you your updated tune for the headers and you can load it via your handheld tool

Sorry for the noob question, but if I want to reset to stock for a trip to the dealer, how do I get a copy of the stock ECU settings? Does the OBD tool have an option to reset to factory settings or would I need to flash the factory settings like any other tune?

We send you your stock tune along with your modified tune and you can load either tune using the handheld device.

Joe Z full exhaust with some PPE headers on a IS350 with this tune should make some good numbers!

Which of the tunes are putting up better numbers? Stock that is
We do not want to get into which tune or tuner is better. This is a slippery slope we have been down before. Both are good in there own ways I am sure but I believe the best place to ask that question is in a non vendor thread

Agreed. I've moved the post in question to the tuning Q & A thread in the non-vendor section.

Again this Thursday Frank will be at Figs Engineering to assist anyone and everyone. He is not there to sell tunes. He is not charging for his service just there to assist. If you want dyno time however you will have to set that up through Figs.

hey my brotha you're Judging too quickly. given the fact that the breakthrough of our ecu finally being able to be tuned is just the start. secondly if you pay attention to the guys who have done the tune so far are all Stock cars with no Mods on them. TTFS has yet to have a fully Modded 2isx50 drive in for tuning. which is why the more variety cars with different mods go into the shop to get tuned or have their ecu tuned with their mods in place will yield different results in HP gains. and also take into account that TTFS aren't even pushing the limits of the tune yet as they just started working on our platform and are tuning for safe Motor performance, as they stated a more aggresive tune can be performed at owners will. they solely specialized in German cars until now. So 750$ for 15+ HP is well worth it IMO. given that superchargers only giving you 50+ HP for 6,000$ plus installation on stock cars and 75+ with full header and exhaust systems.
