You don't hear anything about them because the product hasn't been released yet. They are going to start local testing soon so you should start to hear more shortly. I'm very intersted in this tune also.

u got it....cant wait to have it, although its going into the cooler weather. Hopefully it will improve flow a bit as it eliminates a stock flow bottleneck according to them.

The big question is, should I get rid of the mesh in front of the intercooler to show it off or leave the mesh there?

If Vishnu gets their ramped up V2 production at full steam, it may be feasible for you to get it before Helix finishes testing. However from the looks of things, the Helix tune looks good!

We'll see how easy it is to remove once I get the bumper....1 step at a time.

You mean dyno numbers?



Here is the dyno sheet for our Attache tuner. As you can see we gained 68whp and 69lbft.

We are targeting $795. If all goes well with this other car, it should be very soon. Both this and our FMIC are almost ready for release.

Is your FMIC a direct bolt on without any cutting necessary? Also what are the numbers with your tune and FMIC and exhaust, do you know by any chance??

Mr. silver bullett mentioned that you were working on directly driving the solenoids like procede v2, so that the solenoid bypass is not needed. Were you able to do this? its pretty much the deciding factor for me between this and v2

Estimated pricing on the FMIC? I'm curious about whether cutting is needed to make it fit as well.
