Frequently Asked Questions
Is ECU tuning safe for my engine?
Yes — when done correctly. Our calibrations are designed to stay within safe operating limits while improving performance, reliability, and drivability.
Should I run premium fuel in my vehicle?
The reason you choose to tune your car is to maximize performance. The higher the quality of the fuel, the better the performance will be. We NEVER recommend running regular fuel in a vehicle that is tuned. If you are the type that wants to know if you can run Ethanol (E85) or race gas (100-109), the answer is kinda. Some vehicles have the fuel components factory that will allow you to run E85. Other vehicles it can be corrosive and damaging. You can always run race gas as long as it is unleaded. Do not run leaded jet fuel as this will damage O2 sensors.
What is ECU tuning?
ECU tuning is the process of modifying your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) software to optimize performance, including horsepower, torque, throttle response, and overall drivability.
Where do I send my ECU in to get it bench flashed?
Once we have your confirmed and paid order, we will provide you mail in instructions for your ECU. Make sure when you ship your ECU, you package it well, insure it, and send us the tracking number along with your order number so we can insure proper delivery. DO NOT ship an ECU without a paid order and shipping instructions.
Why is my order delayed?
Great question! Because we are human and we are not Jeff Bezos with 1100 robots. We may have needed more time to process your order or get your device sorted to ship out. If you have an issue or a question, please contact our support team. If you have a deadline for Saturday, and you order this Thursday at 11:50pm, we are sorry but we probably can't meet your expectations.Will tuning void my warranty?
ECU tuning cannot void your full vehicle warranty (refer to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). Tuning may affect your manufacturer powertrain warranty. Some vehicles you can flash back to stock and there are no flags or checks the dealership diagnostic equipment can see. Others throw flags pretty quickly. Its always recommended to flash back to stock when you go in for service. We recommend checking with your dealership if you have major concerns.
