Frosty,
I am glad you are happy with your UTEC and I want to congratulate you on your results. We are thrilled to have DSM/EVO tuners of the quality of Pruven Performance working with our product. Their experience with the 4G63 is a big advantage and I look forward to learning a thing or two from them. You made a great choice having them be involved in your project.

I am also glad to see that you had them take the time to build a race gas map. The ability to switch to a different map on the fly is one of my favorite UTEC features. If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of race fuel were they using?

Lastly, if you have any questions or need anything please don’t hesitate to contact us. You are in great hands with Pruven and we’ll back them up with all the help we can give.

To anyone else in this thread considering a UTEC and a custom tune, I highly recommend Pruven performance if you are in their area.

ruh roh, trouble a-brewin. it seems to me that things meant as a joke are being taken too seriously.

 

you guys still havent posted what psi is he running on the car ????
and was it the same amount being run on the dynoflash , cause its a huge just from tuning UTEC with the FLASH , are they any other changes that have been done ??? maybe more psi ...????/

 

What is the cost of the UTECH With Dynotime? What is the cost of the Dynoflash with dynotime? I am looking for a cost value basis.

thank you,

 

I would bet on ignition timing. If I remember correctly, this car may have had some issues with ignition timing when it was running the dyno flash. I’ll let the guys at Pruven, or the customer chime in, but if I had to bet on anything, that would be it.

I don’t see this as the UTEC being better then the Dynoflash from a power production standpoint, because frankly that’s not the case. This post is about the UTEC in the hands of a capable tuner meeting or exceeding the expectations of the customer.

When you are dealing with the same car, with the same modifications, if you run the same boost levels, ignition advance, and AFR, the car will make the same power no matter what the engine management system.

The UTEC doesn’t make you jump though hoops to get to your targets. This lets the tuner be free to do his job.

The retail price on the UTEC is $1049. If you wanted to contact Pruven performance I suspect they can work out a specific package that also includes dyno time and installation.

Here is their contact information.

Hey guys, I am at the Agile Auto in Maryland right now we are taking a breaks after a long days tuning Evo. We hads a very wonderful days here at the Agiles with all nice evos here.

I hope my car can make this kind of powers when we are done!

I was talking about this thread with Big Al a little while and he was very upset as he was thinking all the information about this particular tune was not being explained in a fair way

Big Al said it was not a fair or accurate side by side comparision as the Dyno Flash tune on this gentleman's car was never completed. In the middle of the tune, Al said, the car was knocking and Al was not confortable with the knock activity level

The shop had no race fuel, so Al suggested that they stop the tune and leave it at a detuned and safe level and that it would be better to return again to re-tune the car with different fuel. Al said that they decided to do this as this customer is a good friends with that shops Pruvens and Al said he is always there so better to try again another day than risk having a problem

Al said that e was very disappointed that he did not have a chance to take another shot at tuning this particular car with the Dyno Flash on a different tank of gas. Al was thinking he could have gotten the guy into the 330 whp range safely with a rich a/f ratio and keeping the factory knock sesnor fully functional

Also, Al was saying that he was only running the guy at a very low boost level as Al thinks its not safe to run too much boost on pump gas

Al also said he tought the UTEC was a great unit and was happy this guy was making great power

Al said that Dan at Pruven was a great guy and that Al had learned a lot of stuff from pruven

 

i thought frosty said earlier this was not a bash and dynoflash was a good product but it did not work for him, maybe there was some problem because of the big injectors, cams, fuel pump, possibly bad gas that dynoflash had a hard time with and was unable to step up . the power just wasn't there. We also did NOT alter any boost. why cant people just leave the bs out of the posts and leave it alone. why cant we just stay on topic. not a fair comparison, How many times was dynoflash compared to other tuners dyno plots. do your job and let us do ours. please stop the bs.
