Just speaking from UK pricing for remaps, that seems very expensive for the gains.

I run a private label Vivid tune on my NSX and it was the only one available at the time. The gains are ok but remember the NSX is a hybrid so tunes arent easily built when one has to combine an engine with electronics (mine is a piggy).

Vivid doesnt make these items, they just private label them. Im sure you can get a tune from a local retailer that is proven as well.

If you do contact VR ask for Rob (co owner) and tell him Vic sent you--- he might give you a deal as that price is retail that you posted. Ive been buying parts and exhausts from them for over 15 years.
