I might dyno tune with RKtunes this week. No downpipes, promising numbers at 600awhp conservatively.

How does it work?

Do they mail you the plug and play kit? Or do you need to show up at authorized center?

Is it simple to flash back to stock?

How much faster does it make the car?

I appreciate your insights brother!

I just made a post a few days ago with my Dragy times. DME Tuning stage 2, catless DP, full exhaust. Best time was 11.49 @ 120...was hoping for more. I need to contact DME to see if they have any recommendations.

He connects to your car via laptop/cord and over the air flashes it.

Can flash it back to stock at anytime.

Depends on your mods.

They can flash without removing sending the DME to them? On 3/2019 software and later?

Guyz can someone share draggy results and best 1/4 mile runs with N63TU2? Wonder if I can get something more out of mine. Best result 10.96 so far.
