I am very pleased. Still on my first tank of 91, and driving it daily. I don't have any experience with another power tuner to compare too, but I can definately feel the difference like night and day. With the 35's and 4:10 and my 6 speed pulling out in first felt almost bogging at times....with tune, I totally forget that I am running 35's. I feel I am learning gear change spots again too, so I know its making more power.

I wonder if the 91 vivid tune is any different than the flashpaq 91 tune?

There is a testing and data logging feature I haven't used yet, when I get to that this will be the true way to keep the perf increase honest instead of this gut feeling by the seat of the pants but dyno as of current.

All around my JK is much more driveable with the 91 tune. I'll try the 87 tune on trips etc, but mostly I've been just going back and forth to work, so a broader review will come with time.

So far I feel it was worth every cent and very glad I didn't get the flashpaq.

Like I said earlier in posts you have to follow the directions, (which if you do is really easy). I messed up a few times with the programming screens, you have to turn the stock setting off and go with your custom setup on each specific screen in the advanced set-up mode. This was more just becoming familar with learning the app layout than poor design. Anybody used to android op system will have no problem and those unfamilar may just have to take their time at first and make sure to follow what the screen says.

I was also surprised to have to enter my transfer case low and high ratio, the latter of which I am embarassed I had to google....

Good to hear. I'm hoping to pick one up and try all the tranny tunes for my automatic. The Vivid sounds incredible

Does anyone know if this will recalibrate the speedo and mileage to be accurate with the bigger tires and new gears?

I am pretty sure this is what it does but wanted to be sure.

I also placed a bid on one of these on ebay for 550.00 with shipping included, and they accepted. Seems like the best deal now after the 75.00 rebate expired just the other day on the 4th. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone know if the price sounds good? I took a stab and made an offer of 550.00 including the shipping and they bit.

Thanks!

Considering it comes with the Archos tablet it's not bad. However, for who already has one it's kind of a waste. They plan to release one for who already has the Android tablet or a cellphone.
