uprev tune question
 

I'm New to this so sorry if I ask stupid question. What exactly is an uprev tune, is it like a dynotune?

You will need an UpRev ECU license to allow a shop, or yourself, to provide tuning services to the car. The UpRev license and software is essentially the "middle man" that is allowing modifications to be made to the mapping stored on the ECU. You can tune the car on the road or on the dyno with this software.

Tuning is a great way to get the most out of the car regardless of modifications. At the very least by cleaning up air fuel ratio and smoothing ignition timing you will achieve better drive-ability and smoother power delivery. Peak numbers might not be impressive while the car is N/A, but still worthwhile. Boosted applications have all the fun as you just turn the boost up another 2psi for an additional ~20whp over the already monster gains from going to F/I!

^^to add to that, there are different UpRev tuner versions. Osiris is used for our cars.

There's the Standard cord, or a Tuner cord. The standard cord carries 1 license compared to the Tuner that carries I believe up to 5. The Standard is used a shop, where the Tuner can be used at the shop for the tune, but can also be edited at home right from a computer.

There is only one version of Osiris. Uprev is the company. There are several versions of osiris cables, standard--which only lets you flash premade tunes and datalog/check and clear codes, tuner--which allows you to tune the car yourself, and protuner--which can hold multiple licenses and are the ones authorized protuner shops have. Both standard and tuner version cables can only hold 1 license.

When you go to a shop and get tuned they just flash the license directly onto your ecu from their protuner cable, so you do not get a cable of your own unless you buy it separately.
