Dyno vs SCT tuner? but if not ill check out dynosteve and jannetty. Thanks guys Mucho graciass.

According to Dynosteve, with the SCT you can go back to stock at any time you need and the dealership won't know. With a dyno tune you stayed tuned and don't have any personal control of it.

I went with SCT at first when I just had basic mods and then after the engine got cracked open I went with dyno tuning.

I don't think that is possible, at least that's what some of the guys here say.

From what I understand, the ECU has a flash counter built in that cannot be fooled.

Yup, I think what you are saying is pretty much a proven point by now. Yes the car can be returned to the stock tune very easily but the flash counter records the number of flashes and that's where GM has you.

We all tune at our peril.

+1 @ "flash counter"

This was my understanding as well.

It's because of these "loose comments", that I elected to go with JRE.

I used Phastek for this last tune.... I've done other email tunes on different cars so decided to give it a shot. I bought my X4 from them and they offered a good deal on the email tune. Sent them my stock file and all the mods I'd done to date and within a day or two the custom tune was back and loaded. So far, after a couple months, I'm still fairly happy with it. Once I go deeper into the engine I will probably go with a street tune but for now, I'm good with it. I am curious as to what the difference would be with a DynoSteve tune as I hear he is a genius with them. Maybe in a couple months I'll have him do one for me so I can compare the two.

Just to be clear, did you do any data-logging, and then send them your log before receiving your final tune via email?

This is what a custom remote tune is, or should be.

Anything less, wound be in my books, called a canned tune.

That's something to take up with him. I don't know anything about tuning. I'm just going off what he has told me personally and what I've seen him tell people on this forum.

However, unless you're going in for a computer related issue or a catastrophic engine failure would they even check the "flash counter"?

Maybe we could get DynoSteve on this thread to elaborate on what he's said. I don't want to put words in the mans mouth because he is a great man and does super work. Nevermind, he replied right before I posted this lol
