I am very much looking forward to the results of this. While the ISF is a blast in the twisties, it has much to be desired regarding straight line acceleration...it is fast but that is my personal opinion after having owned it for 4 years. While I love it to death, if there isn't a tuning solution soon that can get me to a point where my sedan is faster than ANY other new sedan (in stock form), then I'll probably have to sell the ISF. Basically that means that I need my ISF to be faster in the 1/4 mile than a 2014 MB E63 AMG S 4MATIC within the next year or I might have to look for another daily driver.

Someone I know just made 560/560 WHP/WTQ with their tuned CTS-V Wagon. I'm sorely tempted. Sigh. I understand you.

I sat in a ctsv that was on trade at an acura dealership... it was like sitting in a really fast turd...a really fast cheap, plastic feeling, low quality turd . much more to a car than just power.....i cant believe i just said that

I concur. I test drove one two days ago and left unimpressed overall. The power was nice nut not more noticeable than my F but the ride was much less desirable than what we have. I still respect the V, but would not swap the 11 couple for my 08 f.

Well, GM has been making strides in interior quality. I'll see what the next model has to offer because you have a point.


On topic: I really hope HG can deliver a package thats not too invasive to install! Perhaps I missed it in earlier posts, but hacking a harness is not fun, plug and play would be great.

The good news is they said what they are working on is plug n play. If it was something that the shop itself would have to install many of us would be out of luck because of the distance. Im really excited or as said before, cautiously optimistic

If it is Bluetooth, it would be awesome if it can also report all the ODB 2 information and give you a digital gauge cluster on a tablet or phone. I'd really like to see real oil temp...

On a side note, if they can read the electronic valve train positions, they could solve the issues with turbo and supercharging running rough. Unless this tune only looks for WOT before applying its map.
