They are probably fine tuning the unit however i believe the gains are marginal compared to stock , and the cost is on the high side compared to canzoomers unit .

I drove HYMEES car on the way to wakefield and on my butt dyno the difference were very sublime.

While dyno figures and graphs as posted on the forum show a difference i did not feel it on the road.

cheers
michael

Maybe red RX8S are not as fast as they would like to be .

yeah i am pretty sceptical at this stage that the ecu's are preforming as well as people are saying. I sure as hell aint seeing big gains from any mods.

I heard someone lost 4 HP with the CZ unit in 3rd gear, and gained as much in 4th gear. Unit was faulty, apparently - but I have not heard the results of the replacement.

I think I publicly stated from day one that gains in this car might be hard to come by. Certainly not as easy as an LS1.

I am waiting for GTP to get over a busy period prepping race cars for a Phillip Island meet this weekend. Then we are going to have another look at the RIC SHAW unit.

Cheers,
Hymee.
