I just dont have enough time to do that before the flashaton thing.

 

then buy one at ams, i'm sure someone will help you put it in in the parking lot.

 

Honestly man, you live in Chicago. Buy one there and have someone help you put it in. I'd be happy to help you before or after my tune on Friday. It takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

 

This kicks off tomorrow and there are some nice spots stilll left.

Hey Eric I get off of work tomorrow at 6pm and can be there by 6:15 at the latest. Do you think I will be able to get my base flash done on my car tomorrow?

 

THE BBQ HAS BEEN MOVED TO 10PM AND IS WEATHER TENTATIVE

 

If by tomorrow you mean Friday night then yes.

If by tomorrow you mean thursday then I cant guarantee it.

Eric

 

That sux about the weather, how the hell am I suppose to have any fun driving down in IL when i have no traction

I hope it doesn't rain out the BBQ

 

got my base flash and am very satisified! Martin is the man. Thanks to AMS for being such cool guys and a good turn out last night. AMSTUNED ha

Just got back from AMS with a new base flash on my stock IX. Great group of guys working there. Chris tolerated all of my noobish tuning questions with a smile.

Probably the biggest difference I've noticed with the new flash is that the car is a lot more responsive now to throttle input at lower rpm. I guess that MIVEC tuning can make an impressive difference in the driveability of the car.

Very happy with the AMS experience and looking forward to going stage 1 in the spring.

 

What kind of numbers did your car put down after the flash? And do you know what the baseline was on your car before the tune?

Thanks

 

I had my IX tuned last night at AMS. They did a great job. My car went from 332hp/294tq to 340hp/327 tq.

I already had a flash from another tuner and AMS was able to tune the MIVEC to spool the turbo way earlier. The power comes on much sooner and the hp just keeps climbing all the way to 7k.

When I left the car was running way smoother than before the tune. Unfortunately something went wrong on my 5 1/2 hour drive home. By the time I got home the car will not idle smoothly at all. I have checked everything today and I can not find a vacume leak anywhere. I also tried different gas with the same results.

I flashed the stock map and a different map to the car and it still does the same thing which tells me it is not a tuning issue. I'm kind of stumped right now and I'd take any advice I can get. I also pulled some of the plugs and I put the stock airbox back on. The plugs look fine and the different airbox didn't help.

Help me out. What am I missing?

Anyway, AMS was great. Thanks for for the tune and I hope I wasn't too big of a pain in the ***

 

I think my car gets that award!

 

Thanks to Eric/Martin and crew for doing your best on my car!!! I really appreciate it! I will be back soon.

 

Since it was just a base flash I did not have the car on the dyno. Until I get around to running the car at a Test & Tune in a few days and see the trap speed I would only be guessing if and how much the flash improved the numbers.

It certainly drives better though, and thats good enough for me even if the peak numbers are still pretty close, although it certainly feels stronger.
