I went with softronic from Vivid and couldnt be happier. Had a major misfire with the stock plugs at 4200RPM but I knew that would happen I just wanted to install the tune to make sure it uploaded okay and I couldnt wait till I did the plugs (like a kid on Christmas morning). With the colder plugs and the tune the car runs amazing!

 

Same here, but I can't complain about Dan because he sold me the software with the spark plugs so I knew it will happen.... I already change my plugs and never had a problem again

 

Thanks guys, we do provide a great service and owning the cars helps with advice!

 

I just got a GIAC tune along with a GMG exhaust, and so far I love it. It runs smoother than stock in my opinion. I haven't tried any cars with other tunes to compare, I just went with what my installer recommended. GIAC + GMG seem to work together a lot from what I've read, so it should be a good combo.

 

Who did the install for you??

 

Its an open forum and I think he is in his right to "bash" it if that how he feels, if he wasnt allowed to it wouldnt be an "open" forum.

But a vendor telling a member what and how they are "allowed" to post is just wrong imo, even if Leo is wrong and you are right...

 

Is there any 100-200km or 60-130 numbers on cars with just exhaust and a softtronic tune?

 

To have any credibility, evidence should always be presented. Otherwise, it's just opinion and innuendo. I'm not going to delete or edit someone's thread if it's an opinion, but if an an accusation that damages someone's reputation, there had better be some evidence.

As far as "open forum," by joining this site, you agreed to the terms of service, link is on the bottom.

I have the Air intake in my car.... That should be good enough for me to have a valid opinion of the product.

 

+1 and I never did come across a single post or shread of evidence that any intake added any kind of performance on a stock/vtg car.

 

Neither have I. I don't have a problem with what has been posted, nor do I have no dog in this hunt and agree that vendors are should be held to the same level to support their claims on products they sell.

I am specifically addressing your point about an "open" forum.

 

IMO the worst thing that can happen on any forum is when vendors manages to push forum admins to sensor discusion and/or remove posts by members. Not saying it happens here, but it does on ie e90post alot.

I also think a member must have more leaway than a vendor in regards to wording etc, other members are capable to "filter" other members posts if they are to aggresive or written in affect.

And I would really like to see vendors posting dynos with baselines for each and every mod not just their pre-packaged "kits", take the intake mentioned by Leo, if the manufacturer had provided dynos with it on an otherwise stock+tune car this discusion wouldnt exist, nor the numerous intercooler threads...

 

I completely understand your concern. In the past 2 years, the moderators have left threads and complaints toward vendors open and tried hard to moderate without editing or deleting threads - I think an open discussion is important - but preferably evidence based.

 

OP -- if you haven't done so already, contact/call all the vendors and figure out which one you feel most comfortable working with. It's not just about the transaction but it's a relationship. All these products are good. Anyone will sell you a product but it's what goes on before, during, and after that is the distinguishing factor.

 

Looks like I am in the "other" category with a "Sportec" tune.
What do you other 3 guys have?

Does anyone have any feelings one way or the other on Sportec?
