From what I understand Turbo Trixx Flashes on a Dynojet, so that is an inertia dyno that can only read WOT and thats it, so you get no part throttle tuning, just WOT and thats it. The Dynojet also puts a lesser load on the car so when you hit the street you have a different load on the car so that may not be good.

I like Al as he does road tunes which is the best and can't be beat.

Key word in that statement is ORLANDO,meaning Fla.,meaning temps never below 40
degrees,unlike New York where in the winter months one morning it can be 5 degrees,next morning be 50 degrees,have fun mapping your cold start map,every morning plan on battery charger and prayers.For what it sounds like your are modding your car for your best bet would be a flash,IMHO

Hey dude do you have any logs of your EMS? If you dont mind I wanted to see some of your pulls. I've been on edge about CFT tuning my EMS .. just wanted to know if the damn tune is safe or not.

A EMS system is not really needed unless you are preping for a turbo upgrade. Just get a flash and safc like EVO_8 said. It will save you some money!!!

One of the biggest advantages to the ems, speed density. Our mass air meters only will flow so much in, and when you limit air in, guess what...... the bad part is they will not continue to "adjust" to the same precision that the factory computer does- Most of the tuning and hp gains from ems, come from ditching the mass air.. ( @40hp)
