We leaked this technology a few months ago and got a great response from all of you. We are proud to announce the official release of our Virtual Tuning kit or “V-Tuner”. We have tuned close to 500 Kappas over the past 2 ˝ years and the biggest issue we have run into is the simple delivery of the tune itself. Our V-Tuner solves this problem….We will continue to tune via the traditional methods but we are now able to offer the V-tuner to those who are not able to come to us, do not want to pull there ECM and ship it back and forth, or don’t want to purchase a completely separate ECM.
Our V-tuner kit works like this, you order your tune and you name is put in que. The Tuner is constently traveling the country and is shipped from person to person. When your turn comes you will receive the tuner in the mail, simply follow the included directions and 2 min later your car connects to our central server where our Master Tuner is able to see your cars ECM from right here in Arizona! We then tune your car as if we were standing right next to you!
Zero down time and no hassle of mailing your ECM all over the country! This is the future of tuning at its finest!
We will be adding the V-tuner to the Members Store on the GM Roadster web site this weekend. If your interested in getting on the list please let me know.
Exciting times ahead!

Sounds great and I like the idea and have been following your new approach to tuning the ECM's for quite awhile now. How will it apply to us up here in Canada re shipping costs, timing, etc.?

That is great What is the charge going to be... any different then bringing or sending the ECM to you?
Our Mail order & in-person Tuning still carries the cost of $250 N/A & $300 for the Turbo's....Because we have new Licensing fee's the V-Tuner carries an addition $100 so $350 N/A & $400 Turbo... But Zero Down time and no need to pull and/or replace ECM's...Hmmm

No Problem, with our V-tuner as long as you have a High Speed internet connection your good to go...You could be at the North Pole and as long as you have a broadband internet connection we can tune your car! We normally include the shipping to you as part of the package but we have learned that when shipping to Canada FedEx is the only way to go so there may be a small up-charge to offset the additional shipping cost.
Thank you,
Martin

What would i need to do in order to get ya`ll to tune and ecm? And what is the turn around time?
if you use the V-Tuner kit there is no turn around time because we send the device to you and it literally take's less than 60min from start to finish... If you mail your ECM in it can take up to 10days plus shipping.
PM me if you would like more info, Thank you!

I have the VECTOR tune and am wondering if your tune is different than what they may have programmed in their tune. Do you happen to know if there are any significant differences between the two tunes?

We had a club member here in Phoenix come to one of our Dyno sessions with his Vector tune. He has an '06 Solstice, his car made 154 Wheel Hp and 168 Wheel Tq on the Vector tune.
We swapped a new ECM in his car (Because the Vector ECM was locked) and put our tune on his car... It made 162 Wheel HP and 182 Wheel Tq....
Not sure about the difference's in how the tunes are written because we are unable to see the Vector tune but our tune does preform better as stated in the Dyno comparisons.
Thank you,
Martin
