we can send you a remote programmer. It allows us to email you files to apply to the car for future mods as well.

Hey Vincent,
So did you get your tune from Weistec yet? I'm thinking about doing same thing with my SLS, but I would like to hear some feedback from someone with the tune already.

Yup I got it back. I would say is a lot different from stock, it has better power through out the whole rpm range.

but what makes alot of different too is the supersprint race header + xpipe

LOL, of course the exhaust setup would make a difference as well. But compared to before the ecu tune, even with your exhaust modification, did you feel the difference after the ecu was modified from Weistec? I wonder if the rpm limiter could be raised in our cars?

I feel that the power is more linear. What I can tell you is that is a lot faster from stock with my current set up. I feel that stock 5-6k rpm there is a bit of flat power where now is just increasing all the way.

For the rpm limiter is not really increased but I feel that the limiter cuts a little bit later.

I am anxious to hear as well, I have been following this thread quietly and have been on the fence with any tune, so I would love to hear how a stock SLS with no exhaust work performs. Please keep me updated!

Do you feel that stock SLS have sudden increase of power at 6-7k rpm? and a bit neutral at 5-6k rpm?
