Spot on.

Last time I spoke w/ John - he wasn't really excited about doing it (but one should call John).

This is one area in which I think John and Jan would agree - sending your ECU to either to flash doesn't permit either one to custom tune which is what they are really all about. The whole point of a custom tune is "confirmation" and by sending them an ECU; they are denied the ability to tweak and confirm so by default they need error on the conservative side.

While dyno numbers are great - the real test of a tune is daily drive ability. The LDG event in Florida produced crappy numbers BUT the resulting drive ability was apparent to all. Jan has avoided a mistake we made (i.e. dyno) by sticking w/ a dyno he knows well. While I have no first hand experience w/ a Jan tune from what I have been able to gather, he is delivering enhanced drive ability and not just numbers.

BUT at the end of the day, if I could not get a custom tune, I would default to sending my ECU to either one over the others. At the same time when I joined NAM - just a few years ago - 200hp was a major threshold and today its a given. SO while it maybe hard to wait, things such as tuning have ramped up very fast in a short period of time and can only get better.

Sounds promising Would one need access to a DynaPack dyno if this becomes a reality?

Is tuning from the remote easier than remapping the ECU ?

not quite sure what you mean but let me break it down for you:::::

tuning from remote is no different from a tune when I am present


sending your ECU to someone to be "flashed" is no where as good as the above

Remote Tuning is like Remote Login/Desktop over the internet.
