Vivid should try and reset the ECU and do this tune in 5th gear at least to show us in the forum, Even if the final number is lower, people are more interested in the % gains. At least I am.

I am not sure if you read my explanation as to why we test in 3rd gear, but now the PPE headers are installed on the car so the number will not be accurate on just the tune anymore. I am waiting on new tires and we're going to align it for the customer. I don't know if time will permit to put it on the rollers again to get a final number with the headers. PPE has already published the gains on the headers, quite some time ago.
The client isn't at all interested in what the car will put down with all the mods. He was just helping me out because he is a good customer of mine and knew I needed a test car.
Our testing is done, the numbers are published along with the method used to obtain those numbers. I can understand for those who will disagree with the results. The tune is mild as I mentioned in my other post, the emissions code will not come up if you have long tube headers and catless pipes and the tune will automatically adjust to future bolt on modifcations. For me, that's well worth the price and downtime to have the ECU bench flashed.
