It's a second trust factor to hope when you receive it back that a good flash was placed on it. Most important when you can actually watch the person doing the work live is impressive. Halim knows his way around the computer. For that I was really impressed by his knowledge. I haven't heard of anyone actually watched their file actually flashed on their car. Maybe someone who has can chime in. That helps others to be confident in their tuners work. They are conducting beta testing on obll port work. |

Not a buzzkill.. It will never be possible to break the 1024 RSA encryption. Some say they can but it's all BS, if they could they would have launched it and made serious cash.
All the big tool companies haven't even solved that for ECUs that are from 2009, how come they should do it on these that are even more complex. FYI, it is very handy to get this kind of tuning, especially when people has different needs, then there is no need for resending ECUs. You only do that once and can per request get whatever you like done. So actually you can get it livetuned on dyno too if that's the plan without driving x miles to whoever does that. You can go to your local dyno and get that done or even on the road with logging. |

Nice #s and info OP
I know of a couple tuners that can flash via OBDII once the ECUs are unlocked. +1 more to the list with your tuner Any plans to address the heat soak? I'm looking into water/meth system, but planning only to run distilled water. I dont need the octane boost from meth (I mix E85 regularly). |

Take a look at his answers to the others in this thread, and you will answer a lot of your own questions. Some of your other questions he will have to chime in on, as I'm curious too.

Thank you combatbmw.
@ ra ted //m I'm quite sure he can accommodate your list. But he will have to answer your tech questions. Kinda sounded like an interview for qualifications lol. I gave him what I wanted and he did what I asked. But that's between he and myself sorry. But you have ask yourself what you are looking g for in a tune as everyone is different.

Happy you're happy brother. It's been a long road traveled - good to see you're happy and your numbers speak for themselves.. No question. Hearing you laugh on the phone the other day confirmed to me you had got what you had been looking for.

Thank you very much Rob. Yea me Grigory and you know what We went through from the start of this tune stuff. I'm glad Halim was around to hone his skillz and I was able to wait for him to put it on my car. Yea my laughter said it all. Those who had a decent tune then went to an awesome tune know what I'm saying. Grigory got his tune done yesterday and his also is kicking ass. Another happy HCP stomper! Yea the numbers talk in their own but to settle some naysayers, I guarantee I'll get even better numbers. The heat index will be 100* or less w 100% humidity. I just like to back up what I say.

Did anyone that has done the flash tune change the coils and spark plugs also. I was told because of my car being a 2013 it's wise to do so.

I had my plugs changed and gapped to 0.022. Its a good idea since the ECUs will be out of the way. I also had my #3 coil go bad after the flash and that was swapped out too.
I highly recommend a local flash tuner who can trouble shoot any problems. My #3 coil went bad (misfires) as I was leaving the shop right after the flash tune. I limped back to the shop and it was promptly diagnosed and fixed. I went with Mission Performance. |

I suppose every tuner has a preference in what they'd like to see as supporting mods to their work. I know new plugs must be checked out of the box as there may be variances. I went with what was recommended to me at the time; the cost to me was just the cost of the plugs from a local dealer (tuner shop installed/gapped them).
I believe my tuner knows his stuff because the car has been great since. I do have my local dealer service the car, but so far its been just tranny software update (prior to flash tune). |

But about gapping spark plugs, it's not necessary.. It can be a ridiculous torque limiter that needs tweaking. Actually you can also tune the sparkplugs inside the software. Many approaches, gapping is easiest for some, but not recommended if you ask me. I'm glad that you're happy with your tune btw ! |

Thanks man. On my previous tune I ran lambo, Ferrari, new zo6 and beat them all. But haven't had time to run anyone besides a regular vette and mustang on this tune. But I can say that my old tune was dog slow compared to this. Speak to Halim he can set you free🖖🏿

My advice would be to swap out plugs and coil packs if a 13.
