I normally post on rennlist but thought folks here might be interested in seeing some numbers after getting a GIAC tune. The car is totally stock except for the tune. I have the stock, performance, and race gas tune. The numbers below are from the race tune running 110 unleaded. The car is a beast on this tune. I'll be adding exhaust soon and will run the numbers again with stock tune and exhaust to see what that does. For reference, I was able to run an 11.3 at 121.8 on pump gas with the performance tune, and I usually run an 11.7-11.8 at 119 on the stock tune. I have no idea what the dyno numbers are, however I'm very happy with the real world results. Wright Motorsport in Cincinnati installed the tune.

 

Wow, real nice result!
I'm also very happy with my, do you have the PDK? I notice my shift pattern change after the tune, the gear holds much longer than before.

Enjoy in good health

 

It's a 2007 with tip, I'm sure PDK would take a little more time off. I spun the wheels on launch so am sure there's more time to be made up there also.

 

Wow nice shot! Exhaust will help for sure.

 

Thanks guys, btw I received a few pm's asking questions but since my post count is below 15 I couldn't reply. So, here's the info. The car wasn't dyno'd by Wright MotorSport as far as I know. The tune cost $3200. GIAC provides an ODB cable to switch between the tunes. The race tune is 110 unleaded.

 

Thank you for the nice review, and I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the software! Please feel free to PM me in the future if I can help you out with anything.

 

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if you could provide any info about the tiptronic software mod? Does it just change the mapping of when the car shifts, or is there more to it than that? I wasn't able to find much on the webpage. Cheers!

 

$3200 for just a tune???

 

I just don't think I can stomach that kind of money outlay for a tune. I spent an entire evening on a dyno with a very well known Evo tuner for $600. I understand some markup for the Porsche Tax, but $3,200 is absurd.

 

If you want the best, you have to pay. Well worth it.

See my reply to Redwine702

 

Lol hmm are u an employee or getting a kickback from them? Please tell us how it is determined that that's the best? All a tune is, is a software program hell for all you know it's generic and they just put the company stamp on it lol there's probably one programmer somewhere playing Dungeons & Dragons somewhere and wrote a tune during his xbox break!

 

Neither and resent the implication.

 

Well I just find it odd that you stated it's the best paying the most doesn't equate to best

 

I was just going to say a similar thing as in how do you prove that they are the best?

By the way this is not a dig at GIAC or anyone.

I Just want to know how you have come to your conclusions?

 

And yes I agree I am not taking any digs at any company GIAC included I just would like to know what specifics make this tune the best
