Your choice of tuning software has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the ecu has no clue what temp the air coming into the motor really is since Stillen put the maf sensor before the compressor, and then used an undersized air to water intercooler. Good luck, but understand that you’re playing with fire as it sits right now. Try and avoid boost when it’s hot out and don’t do a bunch of back to back long pulls.

If you’re dead set on not fixing the problems with the kit, look into water/meth injection.

UpRev is a perfectly acceptable tuning software. Sure Ecutek is better and has a few nice features but it can’t makeup for an ill designed kit. Chuck listed the Stillen kit issues.

Best of luck to you and hopefully you don’t have anymore issues. Whatever you do, don’t try for more power.
