Ive heard good and bad reports. Still not sure if the key to unlock custom user tuning is out yet but most of the reports I have heard have been bad.

It's listed as in stock and ready for sale on www.vadusa.com. $1100 for the tunable version seems steep to me. It would be nice if a beta tester would chime in.

I am a little surprised at how little talk there is about the new VA box, both on this site and others. At $1100 it's not too surprising. And at that price it had better be bad to the bone, and ready for the user selectable updates. Especially since Smarty is so entrenched and has user selectable tunes.

Yeah $1100 big ones for that thing, that price is close to a good DD for me! EFI Live for the D-max can be had for around $500 i think

From what I have heard the lead designer for VA left the company a few months ago. So as it stands I don't expect much out of VA for the time being.

So a bunch of customers who paid for the tuning version are out in the cold? That sucks.
