Stratified Flash Tune Review

[Kaptain Sir]

Take my money please

The tune update will not just be crackles. We are adding features (such as V2 crackles and traction control) as well as enhancements to the tune itself ... expect more performance .

^^^YES, THIS is what I like to hear!!

I finally had a chance to load my Stratified flash tune. Wow! I don't think they could pay me to go back to the OTS tune. The power just feels so linear and smooth. I can not recommend them enough, especially if you were like me and needed to buy the AccessPort anyway. The value can't be beat!

Just installed my 93 oct tune today, and it feels great. The only concern i have, is that I couldn't get positive cyl correction past 3. I've seen this mentioned on here before. Is that intentional? I'm by no means tune-knowledgeable, but, does that mean there's a lot of power left unused? Was getting a full +6 on my COBB ots tune. The new Strat tune did give me 4 more psi from my previous one, and it does feel more linear. I'll have to relearn how to drive my car. With almost no accelerator input, tires would break loose. Overall, well worth the $50!

Well yes less positive corrections mean there is less power to be had with say a custom tune. Means your closer to max potential

So if you stay at negative 1 that's a good thing

 

[TUX15ST]

Well negative is never really a good thing, i would rather stay at positive 1 lol

Does that also mean that if it stays at, or neat zero, there is NO 'safety margin' at all left for any unforeseen variables (fuel quality, weather conditions/DA, etc.) which might be beyond the range of the ECM's adjustments with the flash tune?

Good article mine runs fairly constant -1 on a custom randy tune yet feels very strong compared to Cobb st3 ots map. I think I'm going to try a strat tune and see how it is after all the glowing reports.

 

[CivicAssassin]

Good read. I monitored all 4 cyl knock counts, and did a couple pulls. No knock was recorded. Maybe it's a learning process, and I'll wait an see if the next update's a little more aggressive.

Just to be clear. The tune feels awesome, leaps and bounds over the COBB ots. I just think there's more that can be squeezed out if it (OCD kicking in).

 

[TUX15ST]

Yes you can certainly do more squeezing for another $200 lol

 

[CivicAssassin]

lol...In the process of getting a new house, atm. The wife would kick my ass if I spent $200 to make my car faster. Especially considering I just got a damn ticket, a couple weeks ago.

I wish I could monitor like 15 different things at once instead of 6. Like all 4 knock counts, all 4 ignition corrections, ambient temp and charge temp, boost pressure, oil temp, oar, and probably some other shit.

You can, it's called dataloging

Get stuff shipped to work, problem solved.


Not that I'd ever do that (They're always watching)

 

[M-Sport fan]

I used to have stuff shipped to work (it was convenient since I was always the shipping/receiving manager), or had it held at the local UPS/FedEX store or depot, when I was still hitched.

Don't have to worry about that anymore, nor for the past 15 years.

 

[CivicAssassin]

Probably going off topic. But, I've never fully understood the datalogging thing. Does it log all parameters? Or, just the ones you have up on the display?

Pretty sure the tuning section of this forum has a sticky that will tell you all about it
