BTW - if you don't want someone to respond to your post, don't post them on a pulic forum or maybe you should start your own little 'I hate DynoFlash' forum so I wouldn't stumble on your bash Al posts, you obviously havent put anything behind you, you are still whining, and yes I read a lot on Al, and Shiv and Mark (the good and the bad) before I went with tuning and here is a little gem of wisdom for you; they all have negative posts...
Rather than us going down the path of yet another irrational debate about who "pulled who" in an informal street race and how much whp someone made on a dyno session for which the dyno sheet was never found . . . . . . I pefer to let me work speak for itself

As this member TC4G63 can attest - here is his independantly tested dyno sheet - pulls done 15 seconds apart from a vendor who had nothing to do with me or my product at a dyno day yesterday - through the mail flash. This is the kind of work that I can do. Mods as listed above - Buschur Stage 1 - 96 octane.

Member TC4G63 can attest how this flash compared to his through the mail SAFC settings

This quality of tune speaks for itself

IMO I think a flash after a mod is a good idea anyway. The flow of air in and exhaust out changes and so should your ECU map. Seeing a 24whp change with just a flash personally was amazing. I like AL's way and method of tuning. VERY SAFE!! While tuning on the rich side may result in slightly lower numbers, you leave knowing that you’re not going to lean out and burn something up. As far as the other guy... he seems like a dink and I don’t buy stuff from dinks. evotexas, I want before and after dyno sheets WITH MODS!!

BS. I think you are just making it abundantly clear that for whatever reason you don't like Al and maybe you should just say that instead of posting some BS thread like that. I think any GOOD tuner will tell you that they aren't going to make that kind of increase safely over another tuner, a few WHP, yeah I could see that but 50? Sorry man.
Hey "Al MiniMe," it's cool if you like Al or whoever else you like. I never said you shouldn't. I said you should not comment on things you have no clue about. And you being a newbie certainly pertains to that fact. You clearly are not privvy to the history that exists. Educate yourself, then I will entertain your future posts. I am not concerned with your opinion or different tuners or myself. I posted to recommend TurboTrix. This is not to say I wouldn't recommend someone else. Because I would. However, I only posted to state that I have negative experience with Dynoflash, along with MANY others, and I have positive experience with TurboTrix. If that is a problem for you, take it up with me in PM and leave this chest banging BS off the forums. Act like a monkey by yourself.

So do I. Unfortunately, this whole thing is nearing a year old and all I have are my recent dyno sheets which have nothing to do with Dynoflash. I didn't think this would start up again. It's also not important enough for me to continue this past this post. I am NOT trying to persuade anyone of anything. It's funny how you come out of the woodwork when your cult leader is not praised. My opinion stands. Take it or leave it. My time is worth much more than bickering with you over the Internet.

well I am very happy with my Apex Power FC (stand alone) ecu. Its great, I also love the features it has and displays in live time and graphs. My friend has a dynoflash with a gt3037s kit and we are about even until 100 mph, then he starts to slowly pull ahead. I am on stock turbo with every mod except turbo upgrade and nitrous injection. All I can say be realistic - plan what you are going to do with the car modification wise, then decide on getting a flash or a stand alone. Like other people have said previously, if you plan on slowly modifying you want to adjust the ecu everytime get a standalone. Flashes are great and definately can compete with standalones even for heavily modded vehicles. However in my honest opinion is that I do not feel comfortable sending my ecu in the mail to get tuned and have it shipped back to me while Al is surely a reputable tuner, he is on the other side of the country. I daily drive my car and want results that are reliable and safe what he can also provide, but if I need support I can go to my local tuning shop (XS Engineering) and have it looked at and fixed. With DynoFlash I cannot have this relationship. That is just my opinion on the situation.

Also this is a forum people, not a **** camp, both sides can discuss things - the GOOD AND THE BAD, not just praise. It should be an objective discussion lets grow up and realize not everyone is going to love a certain product/service and their opinions should be equally considered as long as they are objective.

Yeah I know. I spoke out of frustration and I don't have scientific backup any more (I've since purged my car files) which makes it even more frustrating. Oh well, eh?

Personally - I always get suspicious when I see people who are closly connected with a competing vendor making negative comments about other competing products. Evotexas is a frequent promotor and organizer of dyno days of Turbo Tricks dyno days and has admitted to recieveing free products as such I would take everything he claims with a grain of salt. It is not suprizing that he has no evidence to back up these claims.

Dyno sheets are very helpful.

Evotexas, man I let this go, my ONLY point was/is that based upon my chart above I don't think another tuner was going to pull 50 more whp from my set up, being only a 3"TB, intake, MBC, and a Walbro. I am sorry you had issue with your tune, **** happens, but I am really happy with my results, the graph speaks for itself, thats my justification. Take care.
