Any chance RPI will be working with a NYC area tuner so that the many members who live in the NYC area won't have to take out their ECUs and ship them to LA (something that I would never do)??

well dinan's gains are posted with all three...so if you get the intake and throttle body they are optimized by the software...
however, dinan claims that with intake throttle body,exhaust and stage 3 software you have 390hp a gain of 30 over stock....if you add their claims individually the thrttle body-4hp add, intake=18hp add, exhaust=6hp add that equals a total of 28hp gain....thus assuming that the software only adds 2hp for $699 stage 3....their numbers just dont make sense to me!

Horsepower gains from different mods are not additive that's why the math does not work. Different mods have different peak and max gains at different RPMs.

Powerchip and Upsolute has about the same gain while dinan has the weakest gains and the most expensive as well. Most people get the reflash based on the convienience as it won't dramatically effects your car unless you have a TT.

Which tune did you end up getting? So many choices...
ESS, RPI, Powerchip, Upsolute, Dinan, Singh
Upsolute $400, Dinan/Singh $700ish... Why price difference? You get what you pay for apply here, or just marketing? lol

1. Rapper
2. Columbian
3. Straight baller and money grows on trees (where $249 doesn't mean jack to you)
If you answered no, to any of these you STILL might be able to get a good tune, but you will also have a high possibility of terrible service.
