How safe is the AMS STX300 tune?

Hey AMS! If I had the parts included in the STX400 package except for the TBE portion, would the STX300 tune be fine? Namely, would the STX300 tune be enough for let's say just an AMS SRI because on the site, it says that the SRI requires a tune to safely run it. Thanks!

I have a '11 MR - stock except for AMS cat back exhaust. I recently got the 300 stx tune and am very pleased. Car runs flawlessly and is definately smoother and quicker. I highly recommend AMS they know their stuff .

I personally don't care. It runs well. Better than stock. There are no boost leaks. A vd is all I can provide using a completely stock 2012 GSR w/ 3k on the clock unless I want to drive 2 hours. Which I do not. I'm very surprised AMS has yet to provide a real dyno sheet as opposed to the engine dyno plot they have on their website.

can they custom tune sxt300 according to my setup?
their hp and tq shown on the picture might be a good number for stock evo, but with full bolt ons this number might be a little low.

The only graph that I can provide currently is the engine horsepower graph that we have available on our website here:
The next car that comes in for this package that is stock, we will do dyno pulls before this package is installed to show you the comparison. On our dyno jet we have seen the stock Evo X 5-speed put down 230whp for reference.

I assume that AMS has perfected this tune for stock Evo X's. This tune is meant to be done to a stock car, so having any aftermarket parts may corrupt their flash. Now, we know that all Evo X's are not created equal, from the get, right out the factory, two brand new same year makes put down different numbers. Having a tuner manually take the time to match their map to your car's unique ECU imo is better than a one and done flash from AMS.
That being said, AMS is a great company and I would go to Chicago to be tuned by them in person, but the Stx300 is far from an E-Tune, you don't have someone like Baka sending you revisions of maps and taking the time to fine tune and tweak it to fit your car.

We still have not had a stock Evo X come in for this tune to where I would be able to post up before and after dyno chart. This is mostly a flash that we sell to customers that are not local to us. The same goes for the STX400 as package and flash as well. These packages were put together for customers who don't have access to a local tuner or to a dyno. They were designed to be plug n play packages with no issues or worries about tuning.
When a Evo X customer comes in for a tune, they usually want to go with a custom flash on the dyno. Then usually they add a few parts such as a Grimmspeed boost control solenoid or other bolt on parts to get the most out of the tune while it is on the dyno.
The STX300 tune has proved to be very reliable for customers and we are always here to answer questions or make changes if needed.
