well thats what im trying to figure out...if the 500 is worth the "getting most out of" and why is it that different from just resetting the ecu

No, but is coming quick, and car and driver tested the model without launch control and still managed to get a 4.3, 0-60 time. Very impressive not to mention how it handles.

So the ML63 is still the fastest.

A tune will get your engine working more effeciently and together with mods. Going with a spacer/ CAI/ exhaust/ z tube.....All these mods start getting the engine out of the stock parameters, where the engine's ecu is unable to compensate for the extra air flow.
A tune gets these paramaters back in line. Search for dyno's from Dr.2K, GTO, Rookie, maybe TrainerKen too...you will see how their air flow before was a little lean...now its all back in line with the benifit of adding extra horsepower.

Ya Toy explained it well i gave the generalized answer. Have you looked in to the Uprev Osiris?
Sorry I can't remember who all had the Tadashi Tune or who had other tunes and posted their before/ after dyno's.
Cipher/ Uprev/ Tadashi are all ECU tunes.

Cipher is a program made by uprev. It doesn't do tunes. The Osiris is their tuning tool.

We'll see how long it lasts though. SRT8 was passed by the ML63, which was passed by the Cayenne Turbo S. All over a couple years, too.

All cipher really does is timing/idle/real time data

so do you think its worth it to get, and would be better to spend the 500 on this rather than a bunch of small stuff

Get the tune. You can get rev limiter raised, speed limiter removed, throttle body opened 100% at WOT. Not to mention everything will run better.

Oh so you are just getting an ECU tune and not a dyno tune?

dyno tune would best/most accurate but obviously techno is quite far away. Anywhere local?

well isnt getting an ecu tune from technosquare more beneficial than getting a piggyback tune with a dyno tune from some random place near me (they do subes...automasters)
