Intense stage 3 is impressive!

This little box of Delights came in on Thursday, and me and my buddy did an injector swap out in the parking lot of my apartment complex, haha, then I drove it w/ the new PCM to his shop with a lift where the rest of the install went down. Anyway, I just have the box tune and it seems fine thus far. My and my buddy are gonna do some logs with HP Tuners tomorrow Pre-Methanol and then Hook it up and do some more.. i'll be sure to post them as it should be interesting to see how methanol really improves our cars, as me, nor my friend, have seen any logs pre and post methanol thus far.

was that your pcm that you sent them and then they sent it back or did they have one and tuned it and then sent it to you?

I know man, but I think this one's good to go. No CELs or anything like that, and I ragged on it a little last night

No 42.5's and They can do a 3 day turnaround on that PCM if you overnight it to them

a CEL has nothing to do with it... its about the tune. they run the car too lean causing it to blow...

I'd get that puppy to get a proper ToOn. I don't care who it is from, canned tOoNs are bad.

Congrats on the new found power. Since you have HPTuners, that is great so you can adjust the tune as needed. Intenses canned tuned are well sort of crappy from what I've seen especially getting to view one myself.

Not all canned tunes are bad. In fact Mase at Rebel Auto Worxs has a phenominal tune for a 2.8" pulley and 60lb injectors setup. A lot of people have run it without issues and his tune is far better than any 2.8" & 42lb injector tune period. I personally think it's all where you get the canned tune from. Obviously I think that everyone should have their own custom tune for each setup as all of our cars will react different to the mods we install.

They are not made for the climate, temperatures, elevation ect... so a regular can tune say from alabama will not be good for someone in new york or washington state.... heck depending on the elevation maybe not even good for someone in florida...

Well I'm 3 hours from intense, it shouldn't be too big a deal, and I meant 11.8** AFR
