Lets hear from the tuners
We all have our favorates but I think its time for the tuners themselfs to step up and tell us a little bit about how they tune a car. I am not talking about disclosing any "trade secrets" but rather how they approach tuning and why there "product" is better than the competition.
I for one would want to know that they tuner I chose is logging correction factors of the knock sensors and has left a large margin of safety. They have tuned for the available fuel in my area (91 oct crap). They have options for custom dyno tuning.
I think this is a perfect oppitunity for VRP and LET to shine. I don't expect to hear from the biggies. It would be refreshing to hear more about the MHP approach as well.
Hope I am not grasping at straws bit figured I would give it a try.

I don't think that is gonna happen, but it would be an interesting thread. VRP and LET are indeed interesting with the tunes. We are still waiting on an MHP tune review. I thought there were a number lined up but dunno what is up.

This is a sensitive topic obviously because every tuner thinks they have the best product otherwise they wouldnt be using it.
The only piece of information I could give you is that our software has been running on many customer cars for over a year without any failures.. We run conservative amounts of timing and all the R&D is done in California on 91octane. The tunes are then modified for those people who run 93octane or better.
Our tunes are all developed on the dyno and through datalogging. We take our hardware, install it on a car, and between Powerchip's ECU gurus and our shop we get the tune finalized. In the end, we get a proper package that works great together.
We have sent ECUs to customers as far away as Dubai and Australia with the majority of them being throughout the USA and Canada.
The best thing to do is try to get a ride in a car that has the software that you are interested in and see how it runs.
