Custom Tunes
I know the popular software upgrades for the N55 seem to be the MPPK (which I have), the Dinan software (which isn't out yet for the f30), as well as piggybacks like the JB4. My question is....has anyone had experience with any "custom" tuners? I ask because I scheduled to have my car dynoed at a place called Smokey's Dyno Facility in Akron, Ohio....and through the conversation on the phone with one of the owners/techs (I haven't actually brought it in to dyno yet), he made me a believer in their custom tunes. He explained how much more thorough and reliable his tune would be because the take all things into account (cooling, oil temp, etc.) when they design their flash tunes. He mentioned that he guaranteed I would be happy with the protect and I'd have no reliability issues because they cover all of their bases. I also checked out the website and they have a huge staff of techs and look very professional.
Any thoughts or experiences with this type of custom tuning? |

Additionally, I personally see a lot of value in reputation and track record, hell that's why Yelp is as big as it is, right? That's why I went with Terry, and others have gone with Shiv, Cobb, etc., because they have 1000s of customers a portion of which provide very useful feedback on the performance of their tune to the community to help others feel confident in the tune. That being said, I would reach out to previous customers of Smokey's tuning shop to see what specifically they had tuned and what their impressions are of the tune. Lastly, I would ensure that you get that guarantee in writing and make sure it covers you if they mess up your car. |
