ones too fast according to CHP!
After browsing though other threads in this forum I find it somewhat funny/sickening that another "tuner" just now claims to have found 63 trans maps in the ECU--maps we had access to over a year ago. Something that we were prosecuted for by a third party (and the site, admins, owners let happen) by means of him posting absolute lies and untruths about us. The best part is it was only after said "tuner" was allowed to download some of our cals, and was given other cals by some prior customers that this all comes to light.
1. Powerchip does not and has not claimed to have transmission maps in the ECU. An end user claimed this, but it is not accurate.
2. Stancel's (JRCart) had no transmission mappings in the MHP ecu(s) that came with the car when it came back from you with two "fresh" tunes (one of which was just the Powerchip tune that had never been taken out of the car). Other Black Series owners were at the track (Willow Springs) and also noted that the car had no transmission (TCU) settings altered as compared to a stock or Powerchip tuned car.
Facts are nice, when they are facts not assumptions.

The midrange is way stronger. On the highway I was in 5th gear (Manual) at about 85 and it pulled way harder than I expected. It felt like 4th used to at that speed. Sick. Putting the trans into sport and punching it at highway speeds is Ree. Tart. Tid. It jams you back into the seat and it feels like an elastic band stretching out. Keeping it floored until about 150 and dropping off the gas practically threw me into the belts from the wind resistance slowing the car, but the motor pulls so hard it disappears under hard acceleration. I have to give huge props to Jeremy at Powerchip for really digging into the maps and letting this beast off it's leash.
Oh yeah, how could I forget this tasty little tidbit? He found the transmission maps!!! He started with dropping the shift delay from .5sec down to .2sec and that makes an incredible difference in how it cracks off both up- and downshifts, especially in Manual. Oh, god the downshift barks from 5-4 and 4-3 give me goosebumps (especially with the new exhaust). He's looking into the other maps and making changes over the next few days. I'm sooooooo excited to test this weekend's flash...

What happened with the ultimate PC tune that you were supposed to give Jim, where did the dyno numbers go?
What happened with Jim's car while it was in CA that led him to post what he did in the Texas mile thread?
Why is Wayne/PC offering to refund Jim in full so that he doesn't go head to head with us in a tuning shootout?
Why is Wayne/PC now also backing out of a planned head to head shootout with one of our C63 customers on the dyno?
Finally, since you're here, maybe you can explain why Tim Milliken was allowed to defame us to the point of lost business, saying that trans changes weren't possible via the ECU on a Bosch ME9.7. Now the tuner you distribute for claims to have found the tables (miraculously after downloading a few of our tunes) that make such changes...
Thanks
Andy

Andy,
You know who wins in a gutter fight? Nobody, becuase they are all in the gutter. I have no desire to enter into a circular debate with you where you spin the facts and use smoke and mirrors while taking tidbits of fact and misleading people into believing it.
1. Powerchip does not and has not claimed to have transmission maps in the ECU. An end user claimed this, but it is not accurate. That end user is a fabricator who works here, not a tech or sales person. He misunderstood this information. Trust me, I wish PC did have this info as it would boost sales. But they don't.
2. Renntech does not have tuning done by evotech as you state over and over.
3. Those markers you are talking about in your tunes, are you sure that they have MHP markers and not digital signatures from other tuner(s)?
4. You should ask Wayne questions about Powerchip, evosport is not Powerchip.
5. What happened with Jim's car is that we are still having voltage issues that cause the car to drop out on NOS 1/4 mile runs. We are working on it today. The Battery size was doubled from the battery that the car had to the one we put in, but it was not enough apparently. Jim will post more on this soon I am sure.
Thanks

I agree with the first comment you made, which is why I'm really biting my tongue with regard to this situation and others. On the other hand I'm not spinning anything, simply presenting info in black and white. I can provide links from this forum backing everything I've said so please don't accuse me of things I haven't done.

C63 09' LSD traded for 2010 GT-R
I am totally happy with my RENNtech V2 tune.
I suspect there is only so much we can safely expect out of a tune on these motors running pump fuel. There will be variables from car to car that will skew the data 10% or so from car to car.

IMHO, the BS surrounding the ECU/TCU tune controversy has caused me (… and other’s I’m sure) to hold our money and wait for the details, correction, FACTS to surface. I commend JRCART & DADS C63 for offering up their rides and time to help end the war and to post findings on a public board. Regrettably I must agree that it is unlikely that many will tuners will participate as it could cost them money from lost sales if they are not the top dog. Those tuners that have agreed to take advantage of the offer and prove what they can deliver I commend you too.
Just .02 cents from a potential customer.

On another note, the reason we've been calling for a same car/same dyno shootout for over a year (with no takers) is to prove once and for all who has the best tuning on the market. To date, we're still waiting for someone to step up.
#36
Same track, same dyno, both, we're game for whatever. We'd rather do it at the track actually but logistically speaking a dyno would prob be easier.

I think I've been following this info pretty close, but maybe I missed something. What tuners (other than MHP) have agreed to this shoot out?

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
MHP,
Your infomation on RENNTEch tune is WRONG!!!!!! A RENNTech employee wrote my software. He has also offered to retune it for me to get a little more out of the car.
Sorry about your problems Jim. I hope Brad is able to fix it for you.

i highly doubt any other tuners will bother. i think they understand that by them just showing up lends undeserved legitimacy to a fraud.

My defamatory comments?
Explain how me saying that Evotech does Renntech's tuning is defamatory?
A: It's not.
Now, what about the Tim Milliken ordeal? You know the one where he claimed and the site admins (who work directly with said competing tuner that now has magically found trans and A/F maps) allowed it to happen.
We were accused of stealing, lying, etc but that's all to the wayside now that PC has found the trans maps. LOL.
The bottom line is and always has been, we hold the records for quickest/fastest 63s on track and highest hp/tq on the dyno.
Why is it with the hundreds of other tuned cars running around no one has made it to the track/dyno to prove otherwise?
You may not like me, and I definitely don't like you, but facts are facts.

Marko cl65, when he ran and broke a record at the track, you claimed it for MHP (his TCU did not take, was stock…and was pretty much still VRP)
You argued with him and his friend
You claimed E55 ecu/tcu tuning and throttle blipping…never happened and we all saw Jackpros vids
Claimed throttle blipping for all 63’s….never happened
You claimed TCU tunning….huge thread on this
You also claimed to have an E55 that was going to run at a track that will destroy every one (did not happen, I believe it did not run at all?)
You claimed to have tuned an E63, that had a renntech tune and when it dynode higher were jumping in the air saying look at my results, when in fact it was his previous tune and yours did not take.
Same car ran at the track and pretty much died…was it due to tuning who knows. It had hardware problems….have not heard of many E63 with those...
Then you have the track event with a few CLK black series owners who drove Jims car and did not feel the great TCU tuning that you claimed and we all know the whole story that followed with that.
You have the other tuning company that was modding the other clk black that broke records and they pretty much came out and said they had issues with the car due to your tune and you argued with them
These are all customers, and as you so rightly used to put it, just go and ask our customers and you will know why we are the best…..
No cheer leading/ no bashing just as you put it from your customers
Your records are of your own car and an other C63 with MKB parts. So far you have showed results with the C63. The other cars you claimed to have broken records with are so heavily modded that you can not claim them to be records broken due to Just MHP, when they have headers, exhaust work, air box, wheels, pulley and god knows what else.
Please no more drama. You have your business and you can run it as you please, but please don't not start with the useless non beneficial fights that do nothing more then clutter up threads

IMHO, I'd love to see a tuner shootout, at a 3rd party venue with an independent tester. What's not to like?

Does that mean I can't know if renntech is still using evotech for tuning? NO.
