Any MHP tuned ONLY cars in NJ?
Hey guys, I wanted to know if there were any cars with ONLY the MHP tune, in the area. There's going to be a dyno comparison in the NY/NJ area soon, and I wanted to try and get a MHP tuned car, so we can dyno and do some comparisons. The guys from Powerchip are going to be doing this, all we need is a MHP tuned car. They'll dyno a stock car, then throw on their tune, plus competitors, and dyno each. This will be great to see first hand. If anyone is interested to bring their car in, or to be their to witness this, please PM me.I dont have dates yet.

only thing fair would be stock for stock only w/ tune that has been broken in. I would like to see these results as well. Also power chip should not be tampering with even their own software at this time as they could push the car too hard just make better results for the dyno. I don't really think this should be a powerchip event. You guys should just take it to an independent dyno shop and do it on your own. It's not really fair to MHP to have powerchip in control of the testing and not fair for them to have access to MHP's software.

JonMBZ, you are right, it doesnt seem fair to have access to MHP's software and I think this is where the problem is. I thought it would be better, if we just find a tuned MHP car, that is broken in already and do some comparisons.

I tried having it done on my own but PC wont flash my ecu for me to test it.
I had a problem with P.C before where they dint make all the power they said they would. I sent it back and got a MHP tune. Then they want me to go back and take there tune so i asked for a flash for free so i can do the test and if its beter i will keep it and pay for it. That never happened,
Now i have a HEADERS TUNE that makes less horsepower then the amazing v3 that MHP has and they wanna do the test now. If they game ill have MHP tune my car with the v3 and ill have PC tune my spear ecu with there best tune and then i can break both ecu's in and test them for gain and losses.

Not calling out anyone bud. Powerchip emailed me themselves with this. I just want to see different tunes on the dyno.

haters crazy
I wouldn't let PC read your MHP tuned ECU. They may try to steal the IP and I'm sure MHP would be very unhappy. If MHP and PC want to have a dyno shootout then both parties should be there tuning the same car (preferably each gets a stock ECU). I know MHP has publicly stated that it would take on all comers but I haven't seen any other tuner step up.

have one tuner tune your spare ecu then dyno then remove their tune. then do the same with the other tuner. that way they're working with the same car, same gas, no break-in miles for either tune, etc. with two different cars there's always the chance that one car is just stronger than the other even without a tune or one car is cheating (ie; shows up with race fuel vs. pump gas).
