Remote tuning allows us to optimize your vehicle's performance without
you having to visit our shop. You'll download a reading tool, pull the
file from your vehicle's ECU/TCM, and send it to us. We'll optimize it
for your specific modifications and goals, then send it back for you
to flash onto your vehicle. The entire process typically takes 24-48
hours.
Yes, you'll need a tuning device compatible with your vehicle. For
most domestic vehicles, we recommend HP Tuners, EFI Live, or similar
professional tools. We can guide you on the right equipment for your
specific vehicle and provide detailed instructions on how to use it.
We specialize in GM, Ford, and Chrysler/Dodge/Ram vehicles, as well as
premium European brands including BMW, Audi, Volkswagen,
Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. We support both gasoline and E85 flex fuel
applications. Check our
Supported Platforms page
for the complete list of vehicle models and platforms.
Power gains vary depending on your vehicle, existing modifications,
and fuel type. On average, customers see 15-50+ horsepower gains with
just a tune. When combined with supporting modifications like intake,
exhaust, and upgraded fuel systems, gains can be even more
substantial. We'll provide realistic expectations based on your
specific setup.
When done properly by experienced professionals, tuning is completely
safe. We carefully optimize each tune to work within safe operating
parameters while maximizing performance. We take into account your
specific modifications, fuel quality, and intended use. Our tunes
include safety features and safeguards to protect your engine and
transmission.
Absolutely! We include free revisions with every tune to ensure you're
completely satisfied with the results. If you experience any
drivability issues or want adjustments made, simply let us know and
we'll refine the tune. We're committed to getting your vehicle running
exactly how you want it.
Once we receive your file, most tunes are completed within 24-48
hours. Complex builds or custom requests may take a bit longer. We'll
keep you updated throughout the process and let you know if we need
any additional information about your vehicle or modifications.
Yes! We specialize in E85 flex fuel tuning. E85 offers significant
power gains compared to pump gas due to its higher octane rating and
cooling properties. We can create dedicated E85 tunes or flex fuel
tunes that allow you to run any mixture of E85 and gasoline. Make sure
your fuel system is upgraded to handle E85 before making the switch.
Modifying your vehicle's ECU/TCM can potentially affect your warranty
coverage. However, under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, manufacturers
must prove that a modification directly caused a failure to deny
warranty coverage. Many customers choose to return to stock tune for
dealer visits. We recommend discussing this with your dealer if
warranty coverage is a concern.
Yes! We offer comprehensive transmission tuning for compatible
vehicles. TCM tuning can improve shift firmness, adjust shift points,
raise torque management limits, and enhance overall transmission
performance. This is especially important for vehicles with power
upgrades to ensure your transmission can handle the increased torque.
