What are you currently running on your MR?

Looks like I may just be sticking to the standard bolts on's with my MR. Mainly because there is only 1 AWD dyno where I am (calgary AB) Canada and I dont think they know EVO's very well. So tuning would have to be all on me, and I dont think i trust my abilitys that much. Building engines from a small 2.4L 4cyl putting out 400hp to a 3.8L Buick GNX motor or a LS7 Z06 putting out 800+hp sure. suspension set ups not a problem..... but tunning I will pass on, I leave that to people who know what they are doing

just when, they will release the flash. I think the chip will come out too late to being a success.
Even if it will be on market a month or some, the Flash will be out, a way it looks like now.

Not units that regular joe customer ordered. You stated yourself you need to verify real world results and repeatability.

IMO TTP is a few weeks/months away from a successful launch.

You and I both know that if you release that you put yourself in a VERY VERY tough position by claiming 107whp with just a MBC and a piggyback. If you dont have repeatability you are in for a tough time.

I can see it now.. " i ordered my zchip and only got 50whp when i was told 107whp!"

We have not advertised that every user would achieve 107whp.

Our unit has been customized for our vehicle.

With an end user software and hardware interface user can both use their tuner map, as well as custom tune or make adjustments themselves in addition to our tuner mapping.

As of tommorrow morning, first batch of ZChips are able to be purchased.

What will the end user be able to adjust with the software? IGN, AFR, Boost cut, etc.?

Its because you have an SST trans. It does not happen on 5sp transmission Evo X.

Boost maps for upper gears needs to be tweaked to prevent the overboost condition for your SST...
