2023 Recommended Tune Options

[tnord]

yeah I meant map.....

years ago when I was doing the research on converting to the carbon airbox, the default easy option was to go alpha-n. that worked just fine in more aggressive driving, but the more seamless implementation was do the map conversion.

is any particular tuner more accustomed to dealing with airbox equipped cars running a maf vs alpha-n? most of the racers run alpha N since they're not concerned about low rpm driveability right?

Not really, the two or three mentioned above have a good amount of experience tuning the airbox setup with various cam and exhaust configurations. There is no MAF option and in case you meant MAP, it is not critical as the CSL is basically running Alpha-N. The only necessary upgrade is having the MSS54HP ECU or converting a MSS54 to HP. There should be no issues with low end drivability.

Seems both are viable options.

All I got was Randy is expensive but you get free adjustments, is he wow?

What was he not overly impressed with regarding Hassan? Even if he liked Hassan he'd stick with Randy due to his relationship, so why would he try Hassan in the first place?

That post is one big word salad of jumbled thoughts.

you're right. jumbled thoughts. this post was my shiny object / distraction while making dinner and i wanted to just throw my $0.02. apologies for not being so organized with it.
it's not that he wasn't impressed...just that it was similar results as with Randy so nothing to make him consider pursuing him further. or at least that's how i took the feedback.
which is to say, if the results are similar and people have been satisfied with Randy's results, they should be just as satisfied with Hassan.

What’s the general consensus on EPIC tunes? I had Randy remotely tune mine a few years ago, I've since added a few things and also fully rebuilt the motor. I’m wondering if it would be worth while having him take a second look to make sure everything looks fine.

tbh, Idk crap about tuning or the process involved

you should follow up with randy because with his tunes, you get 2 free adjustments.
i would also add that white HTE is very good as per the group here, my mechanic who also club races gave hassan a shot just to see what was the deal. he felt that hassan was good. nothing stood out to him as "wow". he is sticking with randy simply because he's had a relationship with him for many years.

i'm in NY...shop is located in Long Island. i've been curious to use HTE and with the price, it's hard to say no...but i'm content with Randy.

my vote is either randy or HTE....with HTE getting the win just for the cost....and yes as mentioned, racers usually stick to randy. i haven't met anyone in the racer world (not HPDE) that uses HTE...yet

I think you guys have cemented my decision to go with an HTE tune (off the shelf) since my setup will be more of the common ones and shouldn't require a dyno session unless I want to eek out every hp/tq.
-Eventuri intake
-Karbonius OEM style airbox
-Euro Headers
-Section 1 - UUC RaspX
-Section 3 - RE El Diablo

Well that's a whole different thing then

Gotta be more than that right? Your baseline would be like 275whp, now up to 336.

here's the chart. the car was already tuned from previous ownership, not sure by who. so these are hassan's results over an already tuned car.

cpi stepped headers, status gruppe catted section 1 and corsa catback. tune gave about 10wtq at mid range and 20whp at top end. pretty good numbers i would say without cams or airbox and being catted.

Full exhaust meaning headers and cats as well? If so, what headers/cat setup did you have?

Did you get more mid range torque?

I'm interested to know as well. Very impressive numbers.

He was on hooka, ice cream and cappoccino

What mods?

[Sharocks]

Hassan.

Man knows what he's doing.

My car did 350/265 on a Mustang Dyno at 40% duty cycle.

And it was hot out.
