So, let's say I buy it now, and down the line they do finally tune our tranny, the new files will be sent out for free? I'm actually tempted to buy the OBD tune @ the $499 sale price later this month, although I really do want to hold out on the tranny tune if possible from RR or TTFS.
For those of you who've had the tune since it came out... What's your opinion on it now? I'm a bit curious on gas mileage, if it's the same or has it dropped a bit?
edit: Also, in regards to the RPM, if we choose 7k for now, is this easily changed to the 7.2k option if we decide to switch it later on?

My guess is they just can't do it.. BUT, I know they did say that if you buy the OBD tune youll get any updates or improvements sent to you for free. So honest with the tune from RR Racing being only $500 at the moment, it's probably the best decision to just buy now if you guys ever plan on getting it.
I was THIS close to getting it but don't really wanna spend the money on my car anymore since I will be upgrading it in less than a year. And any money spent on it now, just seems like a waste. Idk though, maybe my mind will change.

To be honest, and I don't mean to sound like a downer, but I doubt there will be a transmission tune anytime soon, if ever. It seems that there is something in the way of that happening and neither ttfs or rr racing or anyone that's trying to tune our vehicles has commented as to why that is.

$200 = 40WHP. $600 = 80WHP.

You'll get to play with the RC-F and GS-F on the race track and get an opportunity to see how fun they can be.

Anyway glad to see there are people buying this tune! How do you feel your cars performance has changed? Also can you please PLEASE post am acceleration video or something of that nature, to help give everyone a good idea of how this tune benefits the IS350? I would do it myself if I had the tune but with my plans for the future, money is kind of tight right now.. Thanks!

You will get mid 290s.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

To be fair it all depends on the dyno. Also how it was dyno'd plays a role as well.. There was member on here that had full bolt ons including the PPE headers and RR Racing tune and only got mid 290's I believe. Hence why Icy350 said that's most likely what he will get on a dyno. Also Icy350 was the first of us to be tuned and has since moved on to something much faster than our IS350' s lol.
