Stratified Flash Tune Review

[Based]

Thanks for taking the time to make the side by side comparison. It would be nice if more people had comparison videos like this on the forums.
Did you get a chance to do a test with the COBB stage 1 tune as well?

(helped you embed the video)

I did not do the stage 1 Cobb tune but I will do it tonight.

And yeah we need more solid comparison videos. That's wh in doing these videos. I will be doing videos like this for every mod I do. Not saying my videos are or will be perfect but at least it's something!

IMO the datalogs speak more to factual gains than a video, maybe try including data log results as well. Lots of people have provided before and after vydno comparisons between stock, cobb and strat but people like videos so....do both

Yeah I may try to do datalogs and vdyno's but I don't really have a road I can do it on. I MIGHT have one road but I will have to go check it out. Third gear at 7000rpm is like 90mph lol. I know there are vdyno's out there comparing everything but there aren't many videos that show real life performance comparisons. But I know even videos for comparison will vary due to temperature and other stuff.

If you can do a video of mashing a gear, you can do a datalog haha

Well I was thinking you meant to do a pull in third gear but I guess that is just for tuning purposes. Yeah I can datalog the pulls lol.

Here is a video of the Stratified tune vs the Cobb stage 1 OTS tune. Read the description.

I loaded my 91/93/e85 tune last night drove it for a while to get everything situated. My e85 map is still adding 3 degrees of positive ignition correction, do I just have good fuel? Seems like there is still more performance to be added. I'm going to do a log here in a bit and post it.

I haven't gotten negative ignition correction (at least on cylinder 1) since I first got my strat tune. I get up to like 5 degrees of positive ignition correction though idk if that's good or bad.

 

[Fiestarawpower]

Positive correction is good. It means that there is still more performance left to be added to the tune. im about to do some logs and review them

 

[Based]

I am trying to learn about what ignition correction actually is but I'm still kind of lost...

Now I am not too sure that I am going to be able to wait until even a minor break-in period has passed until I install one of Alex's flash tunes, as it sounds WAY TOO tempting!!

I didn't bother with a break in period I don't think it matters as much as some people think it does. I was doing wot pulls after 100 miles. I just hit 1000 miles yesterday

anxiously awaiting crackle v2

 

[Based]

Yeah when I get my Borla exhaust I want to try that crackle thing out it should sound pretty sweet.

anxiously awaiting crackle v2

Im told its still another week or two out as of today, me too!

 

[Based]

How much damage does it do to the engine/cat?

 

[M-Sport fan]

^^^Alex claims NONE, just maybe the possibility of some very long term use muffler packing damage due to the sound pressure waves, but he sounded even doubtful about that being a possibility.

 

[commonplatypus]

It shouldn't burn the cat because it actually dumps LESS fuel into the exhaust as opposed to a standard crackle and pops tune, believe it or not.

Does anyone have a sound clip of this on a stock exhaust, by chance?

 

[BiigMe]

So I got the tune with pops & crackles, and I love it also curious to see what happens with v2... Anyways, my min/max ignition correction on my AP looks super high, which I assume is from the pops/crackles. Everyone I've come into contact with at Stratified has been beyond super helpful, I'm extremely pedantic about my car so seeing the ridiculous (like -20/30 corrections) made me worried but on a WOT run everything was completely normal. If you're thinking about a tune do Stratified. Just do it. Great customer service, and the car is like a whole new animal. FTR I'll include one of my datalogs I sent in when I was worried about the crazy min/max corrections, in 3rd WOT my corrections were anywhere from 0/3.

For reals; Stratified tune is best tune.

 

[Based]

This is a datalog from 20-80 MPH I did starting in second gear with the stratified tune. Everything seems good I guess. Ambient was 80 degrees I just forgot to log that.
