Thanks for the reply, what license did you buy?

And did you customize the tune or go ots?

If you customized it what did you change? Torque limits per gear, or something else?

The xhp flash is for the automatic trans only, and it just changes the settings with the trans.

BM3 and MHD are the ones you use for the tunes. Im running a BM3 flash. Youll find its about 50/50 between the two companies.

I think you need to learn more about the platform you're on before you go trading cars, as it doesn't seem you know anything about what you're doing

Bet ive done more work to cars than the two of you combined, i was told that the app was also for 6spd cars and was wondering what it would do. I have a 550 hp vette and this car with every upgrade possible besides meth is junk compared to the vette. No balls whatsoever, a ton of turbo lag. When you hit the gas you want to go not wait a full second for the turbo to spool. An f80 is quite a bit more ho than the f30

Youre reply says otherwise You dont know anything about me nor the other guy your referencing. Your assumption and brashness in pointing out how much you know disqualifies you from being taken seriously by anyone who knows even a little about the performance automotive world. I have 20 years of GM platform tuning experience, from Buick Regal (GN Ttype etc) turbo tuning and building to Corvette and F-Body (Camaro, Firebird) LT and LS platform etc etc. I was the dyno turner for Modern Musclecar (huge in the Buick world at the time) an Admin at www.turbobuick.com for years. I still Moderate at www.camaroz28.com, Ive worked at and with Livernois Motorsports for years as well, if youre familiar with their GM and Ford workings etc. I ran the mail order department at Ramchargers for years as well if you are familiar with the old Ramchargers drag race team from back in the day. Im fully capable of running a Mustang automotive dyno and ran the first one installed in a shop in the state of michigan back in the day. I am also certified by dynojet and can and have ran one for motorycles. Ive been tuning bikes for years as well, kawasaki, yamaha etc etc. (In the state of Michigan you have to be licenesed by the state to work on motorcycles etc, which i am).

And yes... a 300hp single turbo 3.0 inline 6 car will feel vastly different than a 550hp LS based motor. Great observation of the obvious.
