A Glimmer of Hope for Tuning? (Don't Hold Your Breath)

Thank you!
We are also looking for a California customer who can send us a datalog prior to us tuning the ECU... if anyone from California is able to datalog their car, please PM us an we will set you up with a great introductory price.
We already have several other customers from around the country who will be sending us datalogs next week prior to doing our tune. Of course we have also datalogged 5 local cars -- this gives us a lot of data to understand the car-to-car variability.

Lol, patience grasshopper! 
Rafi clearly said it would be a couple of months before we hear more on the SC kit (sure he said March?!).
I'll let Rafi answer on what the gains are likely to be for a stock car, car with I/H/E, and anything in between!
One thing to note is almost all F's have slightly different power levels. We found that when we did a dyno day. Identical cars in terms of spec, age, mileage made different numbers.
I'd say it's better to advertise the gains rather than total HP or torque, that covers the fact some cars may be down on power from factory claimed spec.
It's 100% the only option I'd trust. Rafi and Simon will do this the right way. No corners cut, no hit 'n' hope, it'll be thoroughly tested, and do what it's supposed to do.
No other reasonably priced options exist.
Can't wait!!

Playing devils advocate here but I don't think we should all start bashing Vivid Racing, I mean they did try to sell us a product in the past that didn't produce the gains advertised. I recall they also refunded the CL member.
I have a lot of confidence in RR but we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, the protocols are released and many companies will get a hold of the hardware needed to tune the ISF now.
It's always good to have another company trying to support the ISF, who knows...maybe they will succeed this time around with a great ISF flash. Only time will tell.

This is very exciting news indeed. Can't wait for the RR racing tune to be released. I'm expecting a 10 to 20 hp increase max and that's ok with me. I'm very interested in the other things that come with the tune.
Speed governor removal, improved throttle response, higher Rev limiter, improved power band, improved transmission shifts, no CEL with headers without an O2 simulator. At least I'm hoping some of these will make it in the tune.
