Frequently asked questions
When you see our "estimated gains," they always represent dyno-proven, tune-only gains for that vehicle. We practice an "under-promise and over-deliver" philosophy-- in other words, we advertise conservative estimates.
Gains depend on several factors:
- The fuel type your tune is written for (and if applicable, the fuel you're running on that tune). - With Ethanol: Maximum possible gains are always achieved on an e50 or e85 tune (compatibility of stock fuel system varies by vehicle). 
- Without Ethanol: Tunes written specifically for 93 Octane will provide greatest possible gains on pump gas. Selecting a more flexible fuel type, like "91 Octane" will not achieve the same results, even if the highest octane fuel is used. 
 
- The tuning goal or other specific requests you've made for your custom tune. - A RACE goal achieves max gains for your selected fuel type (100% of max gains) . 
- A PERFORMANCE goal will provide ~90% of max gains for WHP & WTQ. 
- A DAILY DRIVER goal will provide ~60% of max gains for WHP & WTQ. 
- A TOW goal will provide ~40% of max WHP gains, and ~60% of WTQ gains (this is the 'odd one out' and can vary greatly depending on your specs). 
- For DMS Tunes ONLY: A "Stock+" goal provides no change in power - this is the STOCK tune. 
 
- Which modifications you have on the vehicle, if any. - Again, modifications are never accounted for in our estimated gains. 
- To read more about which modifications we recommend and why, please see Recommended Upgrades & Modifications. 
 
Please note: Fuel quality and atmospheric conditions impact gains in ways that we cannot anticipate. Running a "pump gas" with less than 10% ethanol content will produce less power than advertised. Running a "pump gas" with more than 10% ethanol can produce more power than advertised.
