Thumbs up Dynoflash gave me a better car with an extra 30+ whp

All I can say is WOW! I took a 3-hour trip from Boston to Pruven Performance yesterday to meet with Al an get my car tuned. My car came in completely stock and left with only a K&N air filter and a Dynoflash. My car was only making 220 at the wheels and was detonating with the stock tune. Al worked his magic on my car for over 3 hours until my car was tuned with AN EXTRA 32whp and the power curve was completely smoothed out.

When Al took it for a test drive with me, I was more than happy. The car felt a lot more linear and powerful in the upper rpm's. It was the drive home the had me giggling. My car feels completely different and for the better. The power keeps on going all the way up to 7400rpm's. It felt more like the linear power of an E46 M3 or a V8 Merc. I could punch it at 60 and it would pull very hard. The engine just feels smoother.

I usually don't post things about products I buy but all of the posts about Dynoflash helped me decide. I use my car as a daily driver and I only have these 2 mods. Al really took his time on my car to make it perfect. He's very passionate about tuning and it was obvious during those 3 hours.

Thanks to Al and the guys at Pruven Performance.

Attached are the dyno's.

I am always amazed about all the deting East coast stock cars running absolutely stuck pig rich and still deting yet majically get 30+ safe WHP on a leaner/ no boost drop off car- that leaves one parameter to be changed timing which is usually reduced and to a good effect, but less bad gas + more boost - a few degrees of timing dont = 32 WHP and good gas

Tit for Tat you see this is tuning I have no doubt Al knows more and more what hese doing but the East coast must have worse gas than Cali with all these bad gas complaints - BTW even the most questionable central texas gas station rarely do I encounter any amout of det with an aggressive map (As pruven by det cans)

I paid $450 for the Dynoflash. It's a steal concidering M3 owners need to dump $1000+ on an exhaust to get an extra 10hp.

I had my bone stock evo dynoflashed last weekend when Al was in Atlanta and this last week has been the most fun I have ever had driving the car. The power is much more linear and has power all the way through redline now.

I am seriously thinking of doing all my physical mods and getting a nice "safe" tune with the Dynoflash, and keeping my SAFC II in line with one programe set to all zero correction acrost the board, and then have a leaner tune as the second map for use with race gas.

Any thoughts or comments Al?

Sounds like what I will ultimately be doing. How's your car doing Fourdoor?

While we get plenty of stock cars in the mid to high 240 range and a fair amount in the 250 range - even one at 260 plus - - - we do see the ocassional car that rolls in with only 220 or so like this one. It takes me a LOT of time to find the source of the problems and tune these cars up to a normal dyno flash car - but in each and evry case of a low power stock car we can squeeze out the power

In cases like this - the client really wins out with our flast rate dyno flash price structure as I eat the entire 3 hours of dyno time and basically the clinet gets a free reflash

As even Shiv has alluded - the super rich stock cars can often misfire - causing detonation through a incomplete evactuation of the previous cylinder charge and pre-ignition thereafter

ALL these reults we are making are verfied by a dyno jet which can't be adjusted like other dynos - - the before and after customer test rides and our super drag strip results reported by many of our clinets

That is a very good option for a stock cam car - I have done that many times and its is NEEDED with Dyno Flashed cars with cams - we have a top secret method in which we use a piggy back and the reflash to get mega low end trq with our cam car tunes

That price is a special promotional rate ONLY availalable at PRUVEN PERFORAMNCE through the end of the year

We have been offering that as an unadvertised special for some time in an effort to sqeeze in as many dyno base lines as we possibly could to build a huge library of base maps

Thanks, Al! All of us DC-area guys are very happy with the results!

MP5 - please phrase your nonsense in English so I can understand what you're trying to suggest.

Thanks for the trust and opportunity to work on your car.

To me - encountering a car like yours with serious stock tuning issues and finding a way to get it to run perfectly is a great thrill and something I really enjoy. The cars that run decent from the factory are no brainers. The cars with detonation and miss fires stock are the ones that give me a chance to really come up with some very significant gains.

Nice to meet you and enjoy your new found power
