FIC better than the blue unit yes but not the ultimate,
ahh yea i see i dont have 650 for for tho so im gonna have to stick with my aem fic there is tons of tc's boosted with aem fic and works fine just gotta find a tunner that knows how to tune aem fic on a tc.... if i spent 400 at cft and the tune was crap.. id turn right around demand a fix or a refund

Well from what I have been told the Ultimate is only good at WOT. Partial throttle I heard sucks. It can also be had for $400 shipped, I bought one and returned it since I had the F/IC. I think its just the tuner bro, some people can tune the F/IC and others can't obviously even though they are great with other units hence the reason wh you should just go to P-tuning with me that way you know it'll work FTW

You haven't even contacted them to see if that is true or if they can make modifications based on your home location. You are making that assumption based on nothing informative. People go from all over to have their cars tuned at P-tuning and unless I missed the thread I haven't seen anything that says that is the case. To each his own, your car, your money, your tune, GL.

CFT seems to be pretty reputable, I don't know if its Omar's first F/IC but if you want to keep going back and having this or that tweaked and hope everything turns out okay in the end that's cool if it works for ya. Like the OP said Omar now hates the F/IC and AEM was no help to him.

They might be able to fix it but i'm a very impatient person, after I drive an hour and a half, pay to have something done and it runs like poop, i'm supposed to continue to drive an hour and a half for them to try things to fix it and maybe after the 3rd or 4th time it works. Sorry, I just can't do it. This is what Lethal Injection wanted me to do but I just can't, i'll take my refund and go else where.

Slightly lean AFR in boost. You would rather it be 10's and 11's than 12's and sometimes 11's.....be careful.

CFT is most definitely going to help me out with this issue at no charge. They are good for their word and won't stand for an unsatisfied customer. We were just running out of time during that day and I needed the car for the work week. A re-tune appointment is already scheduled for thursday. Since my last posts, I've now got a few more tricks up my sleeve (thanks ElevationTC) and we should be able to make some magic happen. Omar and CFT have an awesome reputation around here, they've got quite a few magazine cars and one of their shop cars is a civic hatch in the 8's. Not to mention the DD WRX in the 10's amongst others like their S2k. I am completely confident in their ability to make this right. I am impatient as well but at the same time, I have a tune that is safe for daily driving to fall back on and I know I'm going to get my moneys worth. I have already received tons of support from the shop and locals who have dealt with them in the past. Nice to know that there are real people working on my car instead of robots that won't return your calls or tell you tough **** if their tune is bad. Customer service has a lot to do with my affiliation with businesses.

Like I said, that's fine if that's what you choose to do.

I'm just slightly more impatient.

I just don't like the need to drive back and forth 2 hours every time.

If I had to that's one thing but I was fortunate to find SL members happy to help em and tweak, look at the tune, modify their own tunes, create tunes and look at my logs until they got it right so that was worth much more on the street than the dyno.

I'm glad to hear that SL members can come together and help each other out. For my daily driver (has to be reliable) I tend to stray away from street tuning. I'm not going for huge numbers, I just want the idle/cruising afr's leaned out a bit and the car tuned for 9 or so psi. We'll have it resolved in a short matter of time and I'll post my dyno results. In the meantime, I'll just commute to work and back (10 miles) at 12.5-13 AFR idle/cruise and 10-11's at WOT with 264 whp on CFT's mustang dyno. I'm not in terrible shape. I'm just a perfectionist

After being street tuned and comparing that to the dyno tune i'm at a loss at how the dyno tune is in any way supposed to be better.

My tC is my DD and I know for a fact the street tune is so much better than the dyno tune. You get to see how the car drives in reality instead of on a 3000 lb roller ball. I am still going to Ptuning by for the most part for now my street tune is awesome for my DD, no hiccups and the AFR's are on point, exactly where they should be.

I know there is a great debate going on about which is better, etc. I suppose if you hae a tuner that knows what they're doing each works great.

Exactly, I'm glad you can make reliable power with a good street tune but I'm new-ish to this import scene so I'd rather leave it to the pro's using quality equipment. I've dealt with mostly Ford F/I tuning and lightly dabbled in DSM's before this so it's not exactly Greek to me but I'm definitely learning a lot in a very short amount of time.
