ECU tune options and reviews?

'Scribed...headers, tune, all of that in my future. Will probably stick with stock section 1 and then move to something with 200 cell race cats or just a Rogue rasp pipe. I've exhausted the interwebs and keep going back to Fabspeed. Kinda feel like I'm going in circles at this point so anything additional here will be super helpful.

Good to know. A dyno tune is definitely ideal (and I will get one eventually), but my car runs just fine with the stock CSL tune. At least it's not running lean.

Agreed. The drivability was great, just rich. Very rich. lol

I found it to be rich from my wideband sensors. Under WOT it was 10.5’s

I'm close to going Epic given their cred on the platform and racing community.

i went with epic given randy's history and his relationship with the shop that i deal with. i also have 3 e46 friends all with epic, so i would consider it a good and stable tune.

It drives fine. Running this setup and haven't had any issues.

Anyone have feedback on how the OE CSL tune drives with the stock cam adjustments?

Following this thread! Also has anyone installed the buildjournal tune? I've heard some good and some bad, what was your first hand experience?

Interesting, I've had great results with Kassel's tuning. I had him fix the awful tune on my alpha-n euro 3.2l that got worse when I put cams in it, then he dyno tuned both that car and my E46 M3 with excellent results.

I'm sure their dyno tune would run much better than what they put in to their "canned" tune, however living in NE and tuning these cars does not go hand in hand, so next time it'll be a remote dyno tune.

Kassel tuned, not very impressed and the vanos timing is so aggressive it feels like a VTEC kicking in at 4.5K, very annoying, its linear then BOOM your off, this doesn't make for a great around town experience.
I don't particularly like the tune and it has been compared against a stock CSL tune and the butt dyno didn't tell much if any difference between the two. Also, the Kassel tune has the car smelling like its running extremely rich, yet to test it however. They also had the wrong camshaft offsets and IAT settings, that had to be corrected. This was their "performance tune" and is a canned tune so I would imagine their dyno work would be much better.
Its goings to be HTE (remote) for me after my SS pipes are installed.

Did Kassel send you a canned tune or did you go there and get a Dyno tune?

Canned, sorry that should have been previously mentioned.
