Just installed my VMP updated tune from Justin and the thing is a true beast now and this is with a stock car. Mine is an auto. I have driven in my friends auto that has a Bama, BBR and Brenspeed tune that he alternates and the VMP is the best of all 3. He is going to get a VMP. Then take the car to the track and test them out.
Can not wait to get my Airaid this spring. Thanks Justin!

I installed SW long tubes, o/r x-pipe, Magnaflow Comp cat-back, Steeda cai, and Brenspeed tune all at once. The best way to describe it now, is like a 2-stroke dirt bike. Not a whole lot of power down low, but once about 3500 rpm's or so, it's like hitting the powerband. It lunges through first and second gear like nothing. As for driving in stop and go traffic, I had to learn to drive it all over again because of the throttle response. That's with the street 93 tune. I can't wait to try the race tune!

It's loud! I hate to say it, but with the cat-back only, I loved the sound of the magnaflows, but since I did away with the cats, I'm not too crazy about them. It's very raspy and sounds like a crotch rocket/sport bike. I'll get a sound clip posted soon.

Load the race tune for most power down low.

And i agree with the 2 stroke comment have an 07 kx 250 out in the garage!

Hmm..

I hear that sound with the full Stainless Work's systems, even with the catback. I wonder how it would sound, sans the long tubes? Cat-less X pipe and muffler deletes..

I loaded the race tune last night and it's unreal! It does have a lot more low end power than the street tune! The only thing I'm not sure about, is when I let off the gas, it wants to stay at that rpm, rather than coming back down.

You mean like you want to do in a race?

From reading up on tunes, it seems like these are an ongoing process. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 3-6 months more power is squeaked out and even new features added once more time is spent learning the ECU and how it operates.

It would be really awesome if they could tune the electric power steering to reduce the boost and make for more steering feel. The stock is good, sport mode is better, but stiffer would be great.

Can't say I've ever noticed a change in the steering in Sport mode.

next and also my current tune is a 91 octane Brenspeed tune.I'm loving this tune as It has crazy throttle response and just pulls hard in any gear or rpm range.

I go back and forth with my tunes running each one for about a month because there are different things that I like about each tune.Customer service has been stellar with all three companies.I dynoed with the BBR tune and made 406rwhp/386rwtq

I mod every car I own and that has not changed with this my third Mustang
Same here, i got the CAI + Tune from steeda, Ran good had no complaints But it did feel alittle weak. I Thought i would be feeling it in the seat of my pants. I went to BlowByRacing and got Dyno tuned,93 octane..WHOA! I feel every gear and now my GT is VERY responsive. looked at the dyno chart and AF ratio is PERFECT throught the pull.
