Couple of things..

1) I did get a discounted price... I have no problem with the price I paid for things.. Like I mentioned I knew going it I might see zero gains... but I also knew however I could see a benefit from firmer shifts and the reduction of the torque management...

2) Perhaps I wasn't clear. Vince is able to adjust/tune/manipulate the computer... it's not that the tune doesn't work... it's a matter of the stock tune already being highly optimized and their simply not being a lot of room for improvement.

And since we haven't heard anything from the other tuning company in a couple weeks, my wild guess is perhaps they are running into the same thing... no real big gains to be found from just a tune...
