Well, I’ve tried PTF, HCP, Paul Johnson, and they are either too busy or don’t do the N55. Now just waiting on Justin from Twisted Tuning to get back to me about a custom meth injection setup and tune. I’m hoping he can pull through.

PTF doesn’t do custom tho. Someone has to build out and support all the rest of the things we use all the time.

Is he doing E85 or just 93? I’ve talked to him in the past and he said his thing was working with E85 blends. I’d personally rather not do blends. I’m looking at adding methanol injection though.

Of course...why wouldn't he? He's one of the best, well worth the $$ having a custom or multiple customs based on different fueling

I’ve seen a lot from CaryTheLabelGuy and F80Paul so far and always great results although all S55. Same computer though so I’m sure they’d be just fine with the N55 as well.

Lol... don't give a care about "Burbles" .... more about if you can slightly tune the OTS programs for more performance without going full blown custom tune...

You can’t alter OTS tables. You can however alter your OEM ROM File to whatever you want. Don’t recommend unless you know what each table does and/or represents. If you’re familiar with tuning and editor, you can develop your own “custom”

Yes... that's what I was talking about... but as you mentioned and after looking into it more.... Custom tuning better left to the Pro's...

Fueling, Timing, along with a few other basic things are quite simple on this DME. Anyone that does their homework and have EFI basics can tune that..

It's boost control on PWG where things get very tricky. And on EWG same applies with the compressor model if you want to tune with all the factory safeties in place.

Many tuners tune with a flat load/torque target and leave a bunch of room between actual boost vs target boost to "prevent" throttle closures.. But the problem with that is it removes alot of the throttle/boost control safety the DME has.
