Ecutek moods

To anyone who can answer!

I notice that with my ecutek my tune seems to be moody! The more I race the faster it gets! I tryed racing with a buddy of mine and the first race we where dead even, despite the fact im making 35 whp more than him!!! by like the 3rd and 4th race i was just killing him!! Not really sure why this is but I think this is pretty common with other ecutek users. Now I dont uses a MBC, could this be the reason, or could it have to do with the tune!! I find this really weird, because my dyno flash was allways right on!!

any help would be great!!

TIA

commonly when vehicles are calibrated on a dyno, the final graph that is given to you is when the car is "hot"... it typically takes a few runs for a good solid program to be making peak power, so this could eb exaclty what you are noticing when racing your friend...

and you do not need a seperate form of boost controller with any ecu reflash... it just happens to be an easier way to control boost for most people than figuring out the way in which the factory boost control was set to operate.
