my experience at Enzo Performance

I've been looking to tune my car for a while but could not put my finger on the the right tune for for me as there's so much information out there and so many different tunes but finally I saw a post here in the forums that people were recommending Enzo Performance.

It helped that they were relatively close to my city and that they were offering what i wanted at the price range that i was looking at.

I didn't want to spend 12k (AMS package) to get basically the same power.

And so i went for the Enzo Performance M5 package which included:
-flash tune
-air filter
-down pipes
-before and after dyno

Enzo and his team were great!
It was the perfect place to wait for my car while they worked on it.
Their shop is nicer and cleaner than my house!
They have a great coffee machine & I got treated to some really good Italian pizza.

When i got the car back, the first thing that I noticed was that i could hear the turbo whine (with windows down), i loved that!
And the exhaust note changed for the better.
In the past i wanted to change my exhaust to get more sound but now with these mods it's WAY better and louder and ABSOLUTELY no need for aftermarket exhaust (for me!).
I also have the exhaustmeister so at the push of a button, i get that low end rumble since i'm opening the exhaust valve.

And then the POWER!
It's really not the same car.
it's way more powerful and way more fun.
when you take the traction control off (which i always do to get 100% of the power) and mash the pedal, you have to hold on for dear life!
I definitely will need stickier tires but that was expected.
I wish they made the Toyo R8's in 20's but they only come in 19's.
if you think your car stock is fast, wait till you get this tune, it's crazy fast.

So all and all, the car is super smooth, i can still drive it smoothly going down the road but when i want some power, BOOM i'm gone!

Thank you very much Renato and Enzo (and your team) for everything!

And Renato you were right, the ride back to Montreal was MUCH faster!
And thanks for the WAZE tip, for a fact it saved me from getting a FAT ticket!!!

Ciao!
John

Awesome! How long did it take for them to do just the tune? Also, I forget, but does their tune also include Cold Start Delete, Top Speed Limiter Removed? I'm pretty sure 6Speedterror also has the Enzo tune, but I forget what he told me about it. Lol! Also what's the price for just the tune?

about 5-6 hours but i was in no hurry, they gave me free wireless, water, coffee, pizza, nice couch. take your time boyz!!
Yes, cold start is gone and top speed is at 220mph (apparently, haven't tested it yet).
I think it's $2495 for JUST the tune.
i paid $4195 for downpipes & filter as well.

Welcome to the family! Im loving the new power and i too changed my mind about getting aftermarket exhaust because there is no need. You should get the 90MM tips from Bimmian tho.

I wonder if Enzo would consider opening a second shop in Omaha?

I would be the first customer!

Enjoy and be safe,

Dave

That's awesome! Great review. Question about low speed driving... I was reading some reviews that the low speed driving could sometimes be jerky, does this tune improve that in any way?

Just go to their website and order. You can even get them in black chrome if you want. Huge difference in appearance! Very easy to install also.
