do you realize how much R&D goes into a factory ECU tune? ALOT more than tuning on an aftermarket standalone. simply putting on a standalone with a base tune you usually lose HP. so gaining that 22hp in 5 min. was based upon the same thing any tuner does to a base program.
i just dont want people to think he can achieve the same thing with every car. i've seen some setups fall face first on the dyno, no matter who the tuner is. even one of mine did this recently.

i dont know anyone that says they can tune when in fact they cant.....ie blowing motors up due to incorrect ignition timing or A/F ratio for given fuel and boost or NA
i mean i've even seen setups i've recomended fall flat on their face on the dyno. my own daily car was one of them. I added cams and my extra standalone TEC II and it lost 3 hp over last years setup with no cams and stock ECU.
