I'd like to chime in and offer my 2 cents. I have the VF Engineering Stage 2 Tune and my first time at the track (with the VF tune) turned a 1:50.6 at Autoclub (on 91 octane) and that was 2.4 seconds faster than the JB4 tune I had (on E80 mix fuel).
People can talk about "dyno pulls" "seat of your pants" but I have the actual lap times to show how much more power their tune makes. I drove the same lines, hit the same brake marks and apexed the same corners. Here's the video: |

Ok, so I wanted to give my 2 cents and a review of the Hex Flash tune and my experience with VF. I was switching to the Hex Flash from an Active8 piggy back.
Customer service: - I got my cable and didn't realize that it normally took 24 hours once you send your file to VFE and then they send you back the tuned file. I emailed VFE asking if there was anyway to get it back sooner as I already had an apt on my indy the next morning to remove the piggy back and borrow their battery charger. Totally not a VF issue, my issue. They were AWESOME!!!! They responded to me in 15 minutes and I got the file back 24 minutes later, not hours, minutes. Totally helped me out and was really appreciated. Tune: - So I drove my car to the shop with the Active8 on. Removed it, tuned the car and then drove it again, so very good comparison. BTW - I was SUPER NERVOUS to install this tune, hadn't done it before. It was incredibly easy and the directions were spot on. For anyone nervous to do this, don't be, it is so easy. The only thing I will mention that I didn't know is that as the tune erases and rewrites every single sensor and warning on your car goes off. It freaked me out at first but then I realized it was just the coding, but good to know ahead of time. Ok, the tune. I can definitely say this thing is FUCKING BONKERS!!! Amazing. IMO, this tune has significantly more power and torque than the Active8 and the delivery of the power is amazingly smooth. I really liked the Active8, but, I didn't think the delivery of power was really smooth and I did get misfires at higher rpms. Misfires are gone with the Hex Stage 1, delivery is smoother and holy crap is this thing fast. Wow, I am so impressed. 2nd gear and then pulling through 3rd makes everyone laugh that it is your car, there is no way you don't smile and giggle, its just insane. Sound: So I have a stock exhaust, with a valve controller (always open) and the AA Midpipe (which is awesome BTW). My car is pretty loud and I think sounds actually really good. First thing I noticed, besides the burbles (get to those) was a much more distinctive pop when shifting between gears. Way nicer, previously I had several shifts that the sounds was very fart cansih, gone now, nice quick pop when shifting especially under load. The burbles...... OMG the BURBLES. I was laughing the entire ride home. They are awesome and the volume level of the burbles in Sport Plus is borderline obnoxious in my car, but in such a good way. Every lift of the throttle I just started laughing. I have a convertible so with the top down it is really loud, but again, in a good way. Top up, pretty normal. So, super impressed all around. Service was great, install was super easy and the result of the tune is just plain awesome. This thing is SO FAST now its crazy and all the sounds I wanted are there. I sat and waited to get this tune for a while, wish I had done it sooner!!! |

So to be clear, I don't think it erases on custom coding, it was saying that on the screen as it loaded "erasing ..... " something, I didn't see the word. I don't think it will erase coding, just wanted people to know to be aware that the process will set off and cycle through all of the warnings on the car, don't be alarmed.

***Update*** I run a VF Engineering Stage 2 Tune and on Sat the 26th during Beemerfest I turned a 1:47.1 (on track supplied transponder) or 1:47.4 on my GPS camera. I'm turning those times on 91 octane pump gas...just about everyone else in those times are on race fuel.
Here's the video (BTW, enjoy the E46 that was in front of me driving on 2 wheels especially around the 7 min mark): |
