Discount? Ur website says 25 to upgrade a tune and 50 to log review (aka Flash Tune Adjustment Based On Data Logs) Did I get it wrong?

What I mean is that there is no discount to bundle a tune purchase with a log review. You can get the log review separately at any time.

Hybrid turbos will have to be a full custom tune, not a flash tune.

Stickers have been going out and more going out today. Send me a PM with your order number and I will make sure everything is on its way.

Thanks!
How can I get a sticker?? Bought 3 tunes from you within this year... hope that makes me eligible for one. =]

Are you in Richmond during the day? Stop on by and would be happy to give you a decal or 2 :).
Sounds good , I will eventually get a license plate cover saying "tuned by Alex@Stratified

Decals ask for too much attention for the police I find

Is it wise to buy a drop-in filter before buying this tune? Or will the OEM filter not affect the tune at all, and I mean like if the tune will be "less aggressive" if I list on the form that I have stock intake.

I run stock intake, it's more than enough imo. Drop in would help but how much? Is negligible

I have stock everything but the flash tune on 93 octane and it's pretty fast. I'm pretty sure the concessus on filters for this car is they are mainly for sound and MIGHT help performance a little. It's just $50 or so so really it wouldn't hurt to get it but it's not required.

That's with just the tune, short shifter, RMM, and I took out the spare tire and jack.

I've actually gotten faster since that video. With some more practice and maybe lowering the psi in the front tires I could get under 6 seconds.

What wheels and tires? I can never get it to bite, spin spin

stock. How I do it is I hold at my desired rpm, then I get the clutch to its biting point for half a second then I gradually release it while flooring it. I have been practicing different techniques though and I think I need to get it at even higher rpm and slip the clutch even slower.

I find this method more effective and easier on the motor than using launch control personally.

Yeah it definetly is the way to go. I get NO traction when I just hold it on launch control and dump the clutch. I went out to practice some more today and so far my best 60' is 2.5 seconds. It really is hard to be consistent with it for me right now. Sometimes I'll bog and sometimes I'll spin. Sometimes I will get it just right and get thrown in the seat but for some reason I just can't beat 2.5 second 60'. I have been getting the best results starting off at 2200-2500 rpm.

By no means is that bad. Much better than me.
But it's also disappointing to see 6.4s is a good 0-60 for this car when a lot of other cars in our competition are still quicker stock. :(

But you said you've gotten even faster since then. What times are you getting now?

Well, I think 0-60 isn't everything. This car is brilliant! I saw a video on YouTube that some guy managed 8:14 on the ring with this car stock. Which of the competition can do that? Here is the link:

well in that video I got 6.493. I've gotten 6.412. So I know there's room for improvement. Just takes practice.

And I think 6.4 seconds is pretty good for this car with minimal mods. I roll raced my dad's 1998 z28 and it was even from 35-95mph. So the car isn't SLOW, it's just not as fast as a new mustang gt. And I think it is a funner car to drive because it's so nimble and torquey.
