Yeah the dyno run with a 1/4 mile sprint is $200. Since I wanted to do both tunes they said $300. I had to forego since it really is not that important to me and I dont have 300 bucks burning a hole in my pocket to justify doing this. Sorry guys.

I can tell the 2 tunes are very different from the way they behave. Low end power and response in the BMS is bad while high end power is insane. This tune is very uniform. I cant say if it really is faster by much either way. I think that both tunes are great. I've had the BMS tune for almost a year with 0 issues. The one thing that I am starting to notice now that I have this tune installed for about a week is my gas mileage is way better now! my tank now lasts an average 60-80 km longer which is a plus. Mind you this is an observation over 2 fillings.

ok, so for the ones who are skeptical, why don't you get in on the group buy and if you don't like the performance, return the product. All you lose is the 20% restocking fee which is much cheaper than getting a Dyno test. I think that is a very fair offer by the seller who will stand behind their product. BurgerTune does not allow a returns at any cost.
To me installing the product and feeling it out for a cost of about $100 in case you don't like it is a no brainer. Paul is already offering us the product at a $100 +/- discount so why not try? |

i'm doing my best to stay positive but some ppl on here either:
A) work for them b) drank the kool-aid c) will buy anything anyone tells them to this thing might be awesome. it might be everything we ever dreamed of, i just don't get why it's so darn hard to get one of the many ppl involved with it to post some real hardcore data. i want it to be real; i want ppl to jump up and down shouting "I TOLD YOU SO!" because the more tunes at great prices there are the better it is for the all of us. even dinan will eventually have to check themselves and get back in line with reality.

nothing against you esp if you were brave enough to get one. it just sucks that the only brave enough person to get one has a huge cost to get data.
i wish i were as brave as you so i could be the one that tests and posts the results. if they were smart and/or confident then they would offer to sponsor someone or a dyno day. that would build buzz and show how confident they are that they can smash the competition for a fraction of the cost. i shouldn't give away my awesome marketing ideas away for free like that.

We need facts, trap times and dyno runs are the only way.
Everything else is only feel, and I can't see how gas mileage has now increased exponentially as well! |

Listen guys if you are all so busy you can buy one send it over to me, i will connect it to my car take it to the track.
If numbers are crap you can return it. This will help everyone make a decision.

I've asked him if they are willing to provide a "Loaner" for people to get their cars dyno'ed...
I'm with you MBA... I'm not part of them, no coolaid or none of that none sense. I'm just looking to get a product that I'll be happy with the performance at a reasonable price. I'm almost at the point of forgetting about the group buy and just pull the trigger myself on the Ultimate. I know when I drive my car around, the dsc rarely comes one unless i'm taking a corner and You said once you install the tune, it's doing it every time you punch it, that tells me a lot since BMS Stage 2 did not even do that for me... |
