HEX Tuning by VF Engineering - available NOW for all Carrera models
We've been teasing the release of our 991.2 ECU Software for about a
month now via Social Media while we collected more real world feedback
from various customers, and now it's time to make it official along with our
return to the Rennlist forums!
For those who are not aware, HEX Tuning is the in-house software division
of VF Engineering. VF Engineering is the engineering and manufacturing
side of the company, responsible for any physical products you can "touch
and feel" while HEX Tuning is our software development / testing division
for anything ECU/TCU controlled.
At our Anaheim, CA facility we have a full engineering staff & two in-ground
dynamometers.
- Mustang AWD-500-SE
- DynoJet 224xLC
Every vehicle begins development on the dyno for baseline testing with data
logging in full stock condition before any calibration changes are applied.
From there each application is dyno tested, street tested, and track tested
(when possible) in order to properly compare the results under real world
conditions to our controlled testing.
All results are validated across multiple vehicles to ensure consistent results.
Advertised gains are based on averaged stock runs -vs- averaged tuned
runs in order to provide gains that are easily realized by independent 3rd
party testing.
Under promise and Over deliver!
And now for the good stuff ...

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
My thoughts stock vs Hex GTS Tune:
"The increase in boost from the tune creates a better pedal feel. The stock car felt
like it had “accelerator lag” and the pedal was mushy. It required about a 50%
depression to really activate the turbo spooling to what I like to call “movement
on the road”. The added immediate boost and torque are clearly indicative here
as the car just thrusts upon the slightest depression. But the response is not
overly sensitive either, it’s proper in feel and depression based on my needs.
From a roll, because of the improved hp/tq curves thru the regular usage rpm
ranges, this creates more rapid and overall top end acceleration. Speeds of
140+ have never occurred this fast via the OEM tune. The car feels like a baby
Turbo 991.2 but with the 300 lb weight loss.
From a dig- the car launches violently but in a way that any aggressive driver
will smile at. If magazine tests have the GTS RWD hitting zero to 60 in 3.1
seconds then this car is going to be right under 3 seconds in perfect conditions.
The most important gain or benefit for me with the tune is true driveability gains
thru rpm ranges of 2k to 6k where the tune curves bloat clearly over the factory
drawn lines. And you can feel it from immediate tip in to WOT throttle. It’s a
well balanced tune where when torque drops off; the car is well past 6k rpms
and the hp curve keeps climbing. For daily street driving the added torque
limits really assist in quick lane passes.
There are many options out there and some sell based on paper dynos but
this tune will sell on its driving merits." - Vik55
