This was before I ran meth. I averaged 12.4 throughout THE ENTIRE RPM RANGE and timing in the 9's at peak. Unbelievable that I didn't pop the motor during the week or so I ran it and even more incredible that my run at Maple Grove didn't seal the deal either. It ended up a pissing match on supraforums with him threatening to sue me in a PM because I was slandering him. I'm getting super pissed just thinking about it. That experience is the biggest reason I learned to tune my own car with ecuflash.
Same. I started with an SAFC after my dynoflash fiasco and ending up jumping on the ECUflash bandwagon as soon as it came out. I just wish I would have kept up with it. I ran the times in my sig self tuning, but then I started doing HPDE/roadcourse stuff and haven't touched my tune since. Actually thats not true, I upgraded my ROM to Tephra v5 with all the patch goodies and pulled a bunch of timing around peak TQ so I would be safe running 5th gear flat out at pocono in July.

My right rear brake rotor won't come off... its almost like the ebrake is holding it on. I had it so far out (while still being attached by something) it looked like the hib was gonna come apart. I'm gonna have to take it somewhere to get it replaced, I can't do it.

Honestly I could give two craps about it but since it is the hot topic.. Would I be wrong for actually showing a person changes I made to their ECU? There are alot of ways to skin a cat, and you can have a wacky looking tune with numbers all over the place but it does not mean it will not give you the desired results..
You certainly don't have the easiest job around job, that's for sure. And in no way was I referring to you in my post.

With that said, you made my point exactly. With so many ways to access the ECU these days, whose to say the map in question was not changed by someone else than the original tuner? Or flashed over by mistake? Or the right map pulled? Or whatever. There are many possibilities, not to mention the skinning of the cat.

What I said wasn't necessarily a jab at you guys, but with my frustration with forums in general sometimes. I physically need to leave the room sometimes when reading these forums. Someday I will be in therapy for evolutionm.net.

Again, that is why I dont take the forum too seriously! If you come on here trying to get serious answers from "experts," you're not going to get it. This place is made of a bunch of opinionated a-holes, myself included, with no experience, trying to tell you the best way to do something. It's up to you to discover if whatever is being said is right or wrong!

Can you bring your car to Eagle? It would take two people just to load the tanks on a truck to go to your house
