Sheesh that's a nice group of cars. How does the M3 keep up with the GT3? That's the only car I'd consider replacing the M for.
I hold my own but i am usually the last one up the mountain (we do Angela's Crest - Sat AM's). 600 and 740 HP are just too big of a gap to bridge. both drivers are top notch as well. Fun group and a good way to turn money into noise!
Hi
Can anyone confirm if I need to flash back to stock tune, is that the "flash first" file that came with the install package? Thanks

The flash first file will revert the engine software back to 100% stock

Confirmed! That's the 241e tune.
Does the burble option shoot flames if primary cats are deleted? If it does is it any comparison to the ginitani flame tune ?
I would like to confirm Alex's plenum map is awesome! Definitely made my Haimus racing plenum louder! Car also pulls hard through out the rev range.
Thinking about getting the ARH LT setup. If I do this, I know a stage 2 tune would be the way to go. Does Alex have an additional adjustment made to take advantage of these headers (thats included in the standard stage 2 tune), or is this something that needs to be dyno tuned?
What would happen if you put a Plenum tune on a car with an OEM Plenum? Just asking!

Yes, just include your mods at the bottom of your map request
If I install primary cats active autowerke with just regular oem pipes, do I need reflash? Or can I then do stage 2 tune instead?

Thanks !

So I just keep my stage 1 tune after I do the primary cats install? Stage one already downloaded.
Stage 2 is only for pipes then?

Hey Alex,

If you guys keep a record of the VIN numbers of the cars that are tuned by you, would you be able to tell me if its tuned by you if I PM'd or emailed my VIN to you?
We won't confirm or deny a vehicle is tuned by. I would suggest contacting the previous owner.
