Default Vinci Tuner ~SOTP~

I just messed around with my Vinci Tuner this morning and WOW.

The car Hauls! Roger @ Vinci has been helpful throughout the purchasing process. I called with questions a few times before purchasing and he was very patient and polite.

I changed the shiftpoints, firmness, i used the stock cam performance tune setting, i bumped up the fuel 5%, Timing +10%, fan settings @ 190 degrees.

On my first drive, I could feel the crisp shifts and felt power throughout the powerband and i still hadn't gone WOT yet. I finally got to a road that I could go WOT, and the first thing I did was squeeze my wheel. It tossed me back, and I immediatly felt the torque management gone. The car is so much faster without it. But I'd say the most incredible thing is the later shifts at about 6000rpm are great. The speedometer CLIMBS hard after the shift!

All I can say is this is a great product and super damn easy to use!

If you want quick horsepower, the Vinci Tuner definetly kicks ***!

Good to hear another positive report about the tuner. I'm waiting for my Vinci-clone programmer to arrive soon. I would like to post similar results too!

Any more word on the 98's? What happened to the final testing on them? Anything new to report mrr23?

Think it's still worth waiting on, or should I just say screw it and get a dyno tune.

up to you. but a dyno tune has it's drawbacks. even though it might get you a little more power than the tuner, but, you'll have to keep paying over and over each time you change/add things. and you can't make changes whenever you want. for instance, if you are at the track, and need to tune for weather changes, can't do it if you had it done by someone else.
