crooze control...because i hold the traction button down and turn everything off when im racing, so comp mode wouldnt do **** for me lol
unless vince has a way to link the toon so when we hold the T/C button down for 3 seconds and turn everything off that would unleash the fury of the insanity toon lol

Yea I'd rather have the Competitive Mode button turn the aggressive tune ON, it would kind of be like the power button in the Bimmers, actually increases power fairly dramatically as opposed to just altering traction control (which it also does).
I will update my tune in 2 seconds flat when this becomes available, I'll even be a guinea pig if you need one! I'd love to have 100% STOCK power when in normal mode and my current more aggressive tune when in Competitive Mode.
But if it's so easy to do both, why not just let the customer pick which button they want to use when they order?

Depends on how busy I am over the next few weeks. I need to make this work on 09 cars also (different OS, different code) before I can make it generally available. My gut says 1-2 weeks but with software estimates you always multiply by 3. So between 3 and 6 weeks and hopefully it will only be 1-2 weeks. LOL

Yup. And you can switch them while driving. I tried this yesterday on my car - I had it floored in "normal" mode and it boosted to 15psi. I hit competition mode, with my foot to the floor still and all of the sudden it went up to 30psi. LOL

"beast mode" is still under test. We can probably find some settings to go less than all-out if people want a little more boost without going full beast.

To be honest, most of the time the dealer won't even scan for a tune. I've had several warranty repairs done with my current Trifecta tune and they never said a word. I took the shop FOREMAN for a TEST DRIVE boosting 22PSI the whole time to point out a noise...never a word about a tune and all the work was warrantied.
It won't be the same at every dealer but I've had zero issues.

I've read the dealer's bulletin on checking for aftermarket tunes - basically they are only really instructed to do that if there's a "suspicious warranty claim" - like a piston hanging out the side of the block.
In that case they are instructed to obtain photographic evidence of an aftermarket tune (if there is one) using the tech2.

No, this is a feature that will come out in the new tune - but current tune customers can get the upgrade at a discount. We haven't figured out the pricing yet.
