UPDATE: The FMIC will be in stock in the next day or so but they are still waiting on the silicone hoses from a supplier.

Ralph@Helix will be calling me back later today about the status of my Attache so I will let you guys know about that later on....

That a boy...Make sure you give us a report in 1-hour. Better yet head out route 70 and then north on 32 and pick me up for a demo ride.

Good luck with your install!

ok Procede V2 fully uninstalled, battery reset, Attache fully installed, car buttoned back up, test drive.....and now right back to e90post.

The car is ummmmmmm.......well its ummmm.........

faster

I'll report back after golf and the car has fully adapted....it was stumbling when I first pulled out of my developement........then it just starting YANKING. Tune is smooth too. I'm liking it. Have not gone full throttle, but I will tell you it would pull on my V2 at part throttle....I mean each tune at part throttle. It feels REALLY strong so far.

I'll be back!

Congrats! it doesn't take long to adapt, I had a 90mile drive home from the Helix shop and soon into the drive (crossing back in NJ) I could feel a smooth power increase across the whole throttle range.

I live in Baltimore but I was in Eldersburg when i wrote that. So how different is the throttle response and control from V2? I'm on the waiting list for both the Attache and FMIC so I'm really anxious to hear your review.

Woot! I grew up in Gamber/Eldersberg. Exciting times they were

Small world though.

Well, no call back today so I am not to sure if I will be getting it this weekend. It is my fault in a way since I asked to change maps so many times.

Hopefully I will get a call tomorrow and have some news for you guys....

ok back from golf......wow I need to hit the driving range. For now, Tiger is safe.

Got to drive the car for another 25 miles or so at a leisurely pace. The car is adapting well to the tune. Very smoooth, quicker throttle response than the V2 tune in my car and less lag. The car obviously has more low end torque. at highway speeds, 5th gear is a beast now....just a beast. Obviously the more I downshifted the more fun it became. I laid 2 nice strips of rubber w/ DTC off rolling in 2nd gear at about 35mph......I liked that!

I have not REALLY gotten on the car yet though. I dont have a functional boost gauge in the car, should be in tomorrow, had to uninstall my other one. Without the boost gauge I dont want to flog the car until I know what its doing.

I'll report back w/ more......so far so good! I like it better than the V2.0.2 2-26 map....thats for sure!

I'm thinking about selling my PROcede and getting the Helix. I'm getting tired if Vishnu.

But the thing that sucks is that you have to send it back to them if you need a new map, no?
