I don't know anything about Vivid's ability to tune - although these gains look nice - but I'm pleased at this tuning solution as OBD tuning allows us to load and unload a tune from our own garage.

I think it's cool that the stock i8 is pushing about 390 hp account for 15% loss. Not too bad. I'd be interested but not without vbox results.

Thanks for posting the times. At least I know my Gintani tune is actually working with my consistent 12.3 times. I do like the convenience of your odb port tuning but I think your price needs to be a bit more aggressive to take customers away from Gintani and the other tuner in Miami since the Gintani one provides a bit more hp/tq

Presume that is a simulated 1/4 mile while the car is stationary on the rolling road? If so, you may get better in real life due to low drag design of the i8 (or does the dyno have a variable for that?)

Thanks. Does the tuning platform allow us (the customers) to change any parameters of the tune?

Does the tune affect the electric motors as well as the turbo? A lot of complex algorithms involving front/rear balance on the i8.

The tune does not affect the electric motors, only the combustion engine. |

I'm guessing the tune power increase for the turbo is within the range of adaptation for the computer to work out the balance issues for handling.

This tune on a 2019 would put total HP and torque over 400...
