MeKilla, I don't know if it's true or not, but at the minimum I would imagine you should have an XEDE for him to tune it.

You would need some form of engine management to be able to tune and save a map. You can go with a simple ECU reflash, or get the XEDE programmable piggyback computer. You can get more info for each at their site..

A reflash is not detectable by the dealer.

Tuning will be done @ FAME in Redmond. Let me know if anyone is interested. Cost will vary by services, dyno time required and how many people are willing to do it.

Oops, your right. I didn't notice you had an MR. I believe Vishnu has a policy about flashing back to stock for warranty work. Then they can give you the flash again once it is over.

That dyno time is very expensive, I've dyno'ed at a few different places in CA and FAME is twice as much an hour as anyplace else I've been. Dyno time plus Shiv time could be pretty pricey, I'll have to think about it.

I gained 15hp over my base map w/ a custom tune and my idle improved a lot. Since you have the 10.5 hotside you will probably see more HP and torque then me.

I gained 33hp more on 100 oct. Just getting tuned for race gas is worth the cost.

I'm thinking of an Aquamist system running 50/50 water and methanol.

I have the Aquamist system, but I haven't installed it yet. I probably will run windshield washing fluid. I am hoping to get it installed when I get my intercooler pipes back for my new turbo.

All I need now is a 150 shot of NOS.

Do you have any idea what time frame this will happen. I would like to have my mind made up before this takes place by calling Vishnu and talking with them just so i can have my ducks in a row as well as the duckets. Thanks.
