Custom Tuning Options:

The RICA iSoftloader System is the only hand-held tuning system thats allows you to tune with custom written software for your car! We can tailor your software tune to take advantage of other performance hardware upgrades to achieve maximum performance for your car (such as a performance downpipe or exhaust, front mount intercooler, larger turbocharger, race fuel tune, etc.). Other software tune features include removal or torque limiters in 1st/2nd gears of automatic gearbox equipped cars, removal of speed/rev limiters, and high octane/race fuel specific tunes. We also offer the following "Staged" software tunes:

Stage 1: For use with a performance cat-back exhaust and air filter element upgrade
Stage 2: Stage 1 plus a 3" performance downpipe with race-cat
Stage 3: Stage 2 plus front-mount intercooler upgrade, turbocharger upgrade, ignition component upgrades and water/methanol injection (specific upgrades vary by model)
