I'm always wary of small/new tuners that want to make a name for themselves by pushing the limits of timing to make the biggest power gains over the established tuners.
My tune from a large tuner has plenty of safeguards and will retard timing at the slightest hint of knock, heat or lean conditions. My AFR never exceeds 12 and never dips below 10.5. I definitely don't want an aggressive tune in my car if the minimum timing has been raised. I also didn't have to pay the $10K Jeremy wanted but instead paid only $1650 for both a 91 octane map or a 100 octane map with the flip of a switch. Both are programmed with maximum safeguards against detonation.

Wow.... so this issue finally went public. Steve what's the latest?
Jim, I believe he got that $10,000 quote from Evosport/Powerchip at the time (2+ years ago)... but I think they didn't want to touch his car because he switched shops/tuners too many times, which meant multiple hands had already messed with the engine and all would play the blame game.

Either way... can this thread go in any other directions???
How about we stick to what its about. Is the OP going to finish what he started and chime in? Are we going to get any other side to this story or is this thread done?

The VIN was in the screenshots posted in the OP (and this was sort of a Eureka moment for him given the exclamation points).
The race file required VP race fuel and it was only meant for like 1 mile races and it would be marketed in the Middle East where guys that have fast cars can drive reallly fast.
Somehow this file made it's way to the U.S. market.
I tried.

I think what hes saying is the file posted was from a different VIN number and that VIN number was in the middle east and somehow made it to the US. LOL.
Anyone else wanna give it a shot??? hahah...
