Announcing TopgunZ ACE Supercharger Kit!

As far as remote tuning goes, I paid for remote tuning by Sebastian, and the installer was familiar with Ecutek (although not a registered Ecutek tuner) and knows Sebastian personally.

As far as remote tuning goes, I paid for remote tuning by Sebastian, and the installer was familiar with Ecutek (although not a registered Ecutek tuner) and knows Sebastian personally. The installer said that the Ecutek software is not always intuitive, and if you've never done it before, is better to pay someone with tuning experience.

The installer I use races, and is an expert with forced induction engines. He said that tuning on a dyno gives an inferior result. Most of the time, the customer will never run into issues, but sometimes, it can be catastrophic...especially if you're pushing the envelope. He said open-road tuning gives infinitely-better data logs.

That may be so but when you have a 700 and up whp monster you can't get out there and go all the way to redline in 4th, much less 5th on public roads. It is just not safe. Get caught or have an accident, you are going to jail for a long time. Running just makes it worse. Just because you see people getting away on the YouTubes doesn't mean that always happens. Most of the time they get caught. Very few get away. Ask me how I know.

I had the same experience with getting pulled over. I picked up my supercharged and flex fueled 370z from Dynosty in mid-April, and the first day home I attempted to record my first data log. An Illinois State Trooper pulled me over at well over 100 mph, but he gave me a break by writing the ticket for 85 mph instead of taking my license (and possible me to jail) for reckless driving. He was not interesting in seeing my phone app or discussing data logging in general. I'll need to up date my info, but the car made 685whp and 495wtq on e85 and 630whp and 478wtq on 93. I've gone WOT several times without issue, and my 34 row Fast Intentions oil cooler and expanded oil pan are doing their jobs. I sent copies of the dyno sheets to Aaron.
