then you will have to tune it twice. You have to realize that a tune eliminates the learn down feature so you do get the gains from mods still if you don't want to tune it twice. But fine tuning will squeeze a few extra ponies out of it. I believe Dan said something about if you get the tune then get mods and want more tuning he wil give you a discount. I don't remember the price tho. PM him
thats a hassle for both of use all that sending n ****. That y i wanna get my mods on and get the ones i dont got altho i will prolly tune without the hahn intercooler on because i wont have that till i recieve my government grant haha because im not forking out $800 of my own money when i can use the $800 of the $2000 from the government
What if I just install my intake and get a DP and have it installed and then order the GT tuner? Can I just hook up the tuner to my car, tune it and send it back and be done, or do I have to keep sending him it until the tune is right? Wont the tune be right after I hook it up to the car? Isnt the GT tuner just like a handheld SCT tuner, you just hook it up under your dash and mess around with it and then you're done?

That's all I need to know, that it's the same as my SCT tuner for my Mustang. Thanks!!
im self tuned but last night we fucked the **** out of a e500 mercedes benz haha 148mph on the freeway at 12:00pm Wooo!! im sure vinces will be very close to what i got just better, you WILL bow down to the man once its uploaded
My second gear spins badly now especially when it is cooler outside. I was doing 40 in second the other morning and a floored it and it spun soo hard it instantly redlined and that was with the traction control on.
Sorry for the delay. I have been working in the shop quite a bit bending tubing and working with a couple interns we have. Also, my computer at the shop is screwed up right now so I can't really pos much from there.
We are waiting for DP flanges, hi-flow converters and silicone. Hopefully mid next week so we can start building parts.
Stay tuned.
Thanks again.
Please give us a call: (425)251-0329.
Thanks.

Right now we are concentrating on the down-pipes. I have hi-flow converter cores on the way, they shipped last Tuesday. I am also waiting for stainless and steel DP flanges for both ends. We should be able to build the first batch of cat-less down-pipes by Wednesday. As for O2 sensor placement, I have already been asked how we will compare to the other companies. First of all, as other companies have made it very clear while marketing their other products, any bolt-on modification such as down-pipe, air intake, etc should be followed up with tuning. otherwise the stock program limits the power to 260. With that being said, tuning will resolve any issue with codes from a cat-less down-pipe. However, we will install the rear O2 sensor to prevent codes. There is no innovation or exclusivity involved in doing this. It is actually very simple and many other companies have been doing so for a couple years now. The rear O2 sensor is basically looking for a difference in the exhaust, resulting from the catalytic converter functioning. When the cat converter is removed, you have three choices:
1. (Best choice) - tune the rear O2 sensor out.
2. Install an O2 simmulator (fools the pcm)
3. Install the O2 sensor in a way to fool the pcm. (This is basically what other companies claiming to be innovative are doing.) You simply pull the O2 sensor out of the direct exhaust flow and limit the amount of exhaust to the O2 sensor by only allowing a small access hole to the sensor.
We'll be providing options 1 and 3 above. The tune will be required to take advantage of the down-pipe.
Anyways, we'll have our down-pipes in production next week and our regular price will be at least $100.00 less than the most recently released.
Stay "tuned".
