oetuned 550

just got my 550 tuned by oetuning

initial impressions is that the car does appear faster and the shift points are different

with the sprint booster on RED mode, and in the cars Sports mode this 550 is pretty nuts. the greatest increase is in the 3-4K RPM region...you feel like you are being thrown forward when you gas it aggressively.... i may need to get stronger brakes

it was raining so couldn't go too crazy on the road...

i was going to do a pre- and post tune Dyno....but given that the tune costs only 395....i didn't want to pay 300 bux to dyno the car before and after

i'll save that money for some christmas gifts....
