Why not just get an actual dyno tune instead of running a generic map?

If you do some reading on TP they aren't super generic like Cobb OTS maps. He tailors his OTS maps to your cars liking. He's a great tuner and made my car much better when I was running 91. He's great at tuning the 09+ WRX's until you absolutely need a dyno tune or want to change fuels.

+1.... Eric, Torqued Performance, sends a base map and tailors my tune based of off real time driving or Live data logs from the ECU. Eric then makes necessary adjustments needed and resends a map back to you. Essentially you are getting the best if both worlds, a tune based off of your driving characteristics as well as via multiple 3rd gear 2250-5650 WOT pulls.

His tunes may start off as OTS, but those are base maps and you will receive a customed tuned map after a data logging session.

Not bad for $85 out the door compared to costs of dyno tunes these days!

I removed all the paint and primer from my hood scoop. Sanded smooth, primed and am letting it dry overnight in prep for wet sand tomorrow morning. Then black base coat, followed WRB paint then clear coat. Hopefully doesn't look like smashed dog **** lol

Anythings better than the black plastidip the previous owner used.
