With what you are doing. You will be fine without a tune. You can even do WOT for shorts periods. The ECU can adjust for a lot. The tune is icing on the cake.

Not for me. The reality is I barely use it. As much as we all talk about wanting/needing faster cars, for your typical day I don't get to go WOT at all, much less have a spot on my drive where I can use launch control. That being said... you're going to love the throttle response after a tune. I may not be able to just go ripping down the road, but in those moments where I need to hit the pedal and take off, my vehicle obliges nicely.

That makes me feel better at least. Won't break everything entirely. Still going to get e-tuned though for all the fun benefits it has. All I am aware of is better throttle response and launch control.

And flat foot shifting, if you're in a manual trans car. Again, same limitations though - you have to be flooring the gas pedal.

limitations for every day use, but still nice to have for those rare moments. I have honestly never FF shifted. Will be interesting.

You guys don't want anything to do with what comes out of that guy. He has been blowing motors and screwing customers for more than a decade.

Feel free to search google for issues with S&R Motorsports and VSR Motorsports..

the pedal? that RJM is different and is well known for a great product and fantastic customer service.

RJ Manufacturing (and whatever he calls it when he torches this particular company) is the one you want to avoid.

madwi 04-05-2018 02:37 PM

One heck of a price tag on that kit too. Id rather have a FI TT kit at that price point.
