DavidV confirmed that he can tune mine for 93 octane.

Then again, for those of us who have spoken to David, we know that he is very careful about what he says ... he doesn't like to convey too much info, and certainly doesn't want people thinking that a 93 octane tune could yield 15-20whp over the 91.

its not really smart to compare to different dynos to each other.

You really shouldn't compare one dyno to another. It's best to compare results from the same dyno so that you eliminate as many potential differences as possible. The most important things to look at are the overall gains (not just peak) and the smoothness of the curve as well.

Will you be able to?

1. Atleast a 19.5 PSI to the redline
2. A Higher redline, say 8000RPMS
3. A stallconverter that when at a stop, allows you to floor it and the revs hold constant at 5000 rpms or some other predetermined launch point so you can just floor it, and then slip the clutch, once under way this feature automatically cuts off.
4. Most importantly a powershift mod that WILL take up to a half second off your 1/4 mile time. You Floor it, hit redline to shift, but you keep your foot on the gas, once you depress the clutch, the rpms drop to a certain specified rpm point, like whatever 2nd gear hits when you are at wot, and then you let off the gas and bam, instant gear change with a perfect rev match.

This is perfect to have the revs drop as you shift and since you NEVER lift off the throttle, the turbo is CONSTANTLY spooled, hence more power and faster times.

5. Most importantly there is no way I could send you my ECU to be reworked, as my car is a daily driver, ut could you send me an ECU and I could send back the stock one once I recieved my package from you?


This is nothing new, it is offered on DSM's and I think If I am sending out my ECU, it should include each and every one of these mods.

...not that my SC GSR wouldn't know anything about that! Might be part of why it is a lot quicker/faster than my Evo...

Mine is installed and running well, with noticeable gains in the mid-high rpm range!

About a 4 days timw frame from day shipped to day received.

what about a upgradable ecu for the regular lancer? Are you planning on make one for them? We could really use one.
