And I as well didnt want to have to fiddle with anything because of new mods, weather, etc. And he delivered on mine. Gaining 31 WHP. Ive onyl ran it 3 times since the reflash and have went from 13.20@102 to 12.98@106.5. And I know I can run it even better with what I have on it now. I hear Shiv does a great job too, but we have the reflash by Al and exede in the same family with same mods to a tee just about, and all his runs have his boost cutting off and when he actually got a good run in one the original map, ran a 13.14 with a better 60 ft then mine. Al would have been proud when i beat an STI during my 12.9 run, he ran a 13.1. My top end is just phenominal now!!! 450$ for 31whp is a bargain.

Unless I'm mistaken, your brother ran more than 2mph quicker at the top end with the XEDE and his original map. It was making more power.

Its just that when looking at the big diff in prices and the end results of not only my brother, but others on here and people I know with exede, that if there even is a little more power, that 450$ more is not worth it, and like I said his time still didnt beat mine.

I believe this post was about the works day when my xede put up 246whp. I put up more hp than people with many more mods. All I had was the xede, others had reflash's and t-back exhausts, and other stuff and the xede did very well compared to what was there. I don't think it was aimed towards al at all.
I may be mistaken, but I think thats what it was originally posted for.
My theory is that if you want the best you pay for it. If I pay more and I get 3 - 5 more whp over the competitor on each part eventually that can add up to 30 - 40 whp in the end.
evo8power it seems their are many people trying to help you, but it seems that you complain on every thread. I know I gained .5 or more in the 1/4 and 6-8 or more mhp just by plugging it in and running a conservitive run, I hope you get your prob worked out because most people are loving the vishnu stuff

He is not complaining!!! I understand the only people who post under this thread, "Vhisnu", obv like him and his product, so of course you will tear apart Evo8power. Well, for the 15th time, Im his brother. And I know cars like him, and this part is not working correctly. He has a guy who runs a performance shop in our area who does work on cars like i make burger (own Mcdonalds). And he couldnt figure out why his car wasnt running right with the ECU. So dont jump on him for complaining. He paid 900$ for alot of trouble so far. And now has to pay for the shipping back to Shiv to fix it or supposedly "tune it to a car like Kevins". Im not even him and this purchase has been a HUGE hassle which is why I see alot of people, like me, drive hundreds of miles to see Al "personally", and get flashed for "1/2"

And to back up my brothers post, I was on the phone with him from our friends shop and Brett wouldnt help him this morning. Well if oyu work for Shiv, why do you need him to handle a problem/complaint?? I dont need my Dad to handle a well done cheeseburger. And for those who say its because he doesnt know how to work a laptop, the guy who did it works professionally on computers for a living. That had nothing whatsoever to do with it. It was faulty tuning, too bad Shiv and Co. couldnt face it. It also would have been professional, as if oyu knew about being professional, to pay for the shipping back to you on a fualty product. Geez, how low!!!!! Man am I glad I went with Al, saved 400$, gained over 30WHP, 4 MPH adn 3 tenths of a second. Wihtout the darn hassle!!!!!!!!!

If he could get what he paid for then he wouldnt need Al's. If he knew the hassle and trouble this would cayse, he would have. He understands now, Like most, go to Al, and spend half the cash. With the money i saved, i can get cams and a BC'er. Plus Al is actually personable on the phone, unlike Shiv and his cohorts.

I just wish that huscroft6 & evo8power wouldget off their damn computers & spent their time swapping out the std ecu & putting the stock BOV back on to see if this eliminates any of their problems?
Then post their findings & the faulty maps if the above mentioned didnt cure it.
too funny about the lab & stable!
