Received my Bluefin yesterday and installed it last night but didn't get a chance to test it out until this morning. At first I thought it was no different to the original tune, although there's not much opportunity to "give it a bit" in peak hour traffic. It essentially drives as standard until you drive with intent, then, the difference becomes very obvious.

I've done a lot of mods to various cars over the years and more often than not you almost have to talk yourself into believing the upgrade you just spent a shed load on, has made a performance improvement. That's not the case with this upgrade as you can really feel the improvement. As others have said, it drives exactly like standard and is well behaved, it just shoves you into the seat under acceleration a lot more than the OEM tune. Well worth the $1,500 I'd say.:thumbup:

hey mate! welcome to the cool kids club :smoking: just jokes, but glad to see you are loving it so far. Sorry I didnt get a chance to take you for a spin, but now I guess there is an even better reason for a canberra gtg!

it will settle down over the next few days as the ecu "learns" how to deal with the new tune, but all it seems to do is make it a more gradual rush, rather than an on/off switch.

One thing I will note is that the pedal sensor is very well set-up in the bluefin, as you can ride the car out to high revs under light throttle and it will hardly spool up. But give it some serious right foot action and it will give you what you ask for!

congrats, and enjoy the ride!

Yeah, sorry I didn't take you up on the offer to try before I buy. I figured all of the reviews and reports I'd heard had nothing but good stuff to say, so might as well just get it. And there's a 7 day money back offer anyway!

Yeah, as stated it'll need some time to zone back into your drive style.

Gonna have to re-learn your LC also...
