Softronics Flash tune???

I see the flash tune being offered from different vendors; what's the difference?

Is the flash tuned specifically dialed to your mods?

What kind of power are you trying to reach? Softronic can do a flash for your specific needs especially if you want to upgrade your turbos but if the power numbers you are trying to reach can be made using your stock turbos I would suggest doing that if its possible but obviously this is based on how much power you want.

If you would like to discuss some options feel free to shoot me an email.

Call them.. and each company that has a tune. The person that you feel most at ease with on the phone is the person you should choose. I've gone down your road and couldn't have asked for a better tuner.

Point is... lots of tunes out there. Get the one your gut tells you to go with.

OK, then don't spend your money on an increased stall torque converter. It will rob your power in a street race (60-130).

That's true... I do like to street race from a dig thou... That's how I usually "earn" my money... I'll have see what my 60's are and then see how much a converter helps...

you need 3071s, injectors, maybe a second pump, , you have ICs- which ones?, loose the cats, you need at least the intake piping from the airbox to the turbos.... OR convert to a blow thru and get rid of all the BS.... get quicker spool too...
here is what I mean...



Or this- this is the big boys stuff... lol

Whatever tune you go with I recommend getting the durametric diagnostics software.
It allows you to log real time data and check your tune.
