    Definitely give it some drive time - it continues to get better the more miles you log. It was awesome initially, but got better around 300 and again around 6-700 and is so damn smooth now. The WOT from a stop kind of puzzles me personally - I never, ever, ever, ever get any hesitation whatsoever when accelerating. But then again with the way the throttle is configured I never, ever need or want to WOT from a stop.

    I get wanting to test it out for sure as I did but if you ease in and then accelerate fast....

    I had some hesitation accelerating from a stop with WOT when I first flashed it... It seemed to have worked itself out over time though.

    Yeah I don’t think I even tried a WOT from a stop until I had a few miles on it actually. Living in the city... WOT from a stop isn’t an option until the weekend hits most times. :)

    I did not like VB. Very lagy for me and connecting USB was funky.

    You just have to plug in the USB device and have it detect for the first time before launching VBOX

    Ya, I tried but had to play around with setting and did not like the uncertainty for me. I just boot camped a small portion of my mac drive for windows for flashing so its no biggy for me.

    I wanted to run that but it needed a HUGE amount of space partitioned. My air only has 250gb of flash and I was out of space. So that's why I choose Virtualbox:/

    The draw back is you have to partition part of your drive for windows. For me that was not an issue, but just something to know.

    Lol don't even know if Mat has started. Probably not, since half the OVT buyers can't imagine him being the only OVT employee and they flip out and bash his "customer service" when they have to wait a few hours for a reply. And then when he tries to work on that, tuning progress falls behind a bit and he's got half the thread whining about how he missed a projected tune release by a day or two... Lol smh
