Thumbs up Upsolute Results

WELL...I Just dynoed my C COUPE last night with the UPSOLUTE
SOFTWARE and WOW the results re the UPGRADE are 30hp !!!!
as I did a stock dyno (no mods) and several with the UPSOLUTE
SOFTWARE MOD and several pulls for the cold air kit Im working on,SO anyone thinking about the software mod GO TO UPSOLUTE
I used LANNY @UPSOLUTE, CHINO HILLS @(909) 606-4368 THE PRODUCT WORKS!!
I would like to also Thank EVO SPORT for the dyno time and UPSOLUTE for the GREAT PRODUCT
THIS SHOWS That YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY 2000.00 LIKE SOME
OTHER TUNERS ARE Asking for there software

Post UPSOLUTE UPDATE

THE 30hp is from THE SOFTWARE ONLY
The cold air system I built well.SUCKED at 2 HP
so It goes on the bench and I will work on another one as the OEM air BOX is very restrictive and I used a flow thru carbon fiber filter to the stock air inlet at the radiator core support
NOT HAPPY with 2hp at a cost of 300.00 in parts.BUT at 325.00
for the UPSOLUTE SOFTWARE its a GREAT PRICE and IT WORKS
as for the torque the new software cleaned up the curve as the stock had several peaks...not smooth at all

Great news Mark! If possible could you scan and post the read-outs from the dynometer? I bet people would like to see the curves from both the stock and software runs.

Cheers, BT

2 questions/concerns:

i believe the chip works. but if all it takes is a chip upgrade, why did MB not do this for us already?

does the FSS services detect the chip upgrade?

Actually I was thinking that the air-box system result shouldn't be a surprise since the car is supercharged. The supercharger is already pulling in as much air as it requires for boost (especially since the rumor for the chip's effectiveness is that it changes the setting on a bleed valve in the manifold), making the airbox filter restricitions a moot point. As far as cold air goes the compression heats up the charge a great deal; hence the need for an intercooler. I think the only way to improve the car's intake system would be to increase the cooling efficiency of the intercooler.
