The guy im having look at my car seemed shocked with the timing of revo's stuff. he was shocked they were so dam high.
As in ignition advance?
I know REVO do push the limits of both boost and advance compared to other tuners...hence the higher torque & power claims.
From experience though, this may be great on a 1/4 mile where you only need it for 13 seconds.
On a backroad or trackday, there can be heatsoak issues where power rapidly tails off, next to more conservative maps which do not generate as much heat.
Also, A to B on a twisty backroad in a car with a less aggressive torque delivery is often faster (especially FWD) as you aren't fighting the wheelspin/traction control....faster because you can concentrate more on driving the road, not fighting the car!
People need to do their research and select their remap accordingly - it's not all about peak numbers.
For those who it is all about peak numbers and 1/4 miles, REVO certainly seems the preferred option - but the very reason they please this type of driver is likely to be the downfall for a different type of driver.
Caveat emptor.
