Data-driven standalone tuning, done remotely.
Every change measured, every session documented. You keep control of the car and the wrench; we handle the calibration and the analysis.
The process is the product
Every engagement is run like a proper tuning program, not a one-shot map dump. Here's exactly what happens, in order.
- 1
Onboarding & Baseline
First week- Intake: build sheet (engine, turbo, injectors, fuel), current tune file, goals.
- Full backup of your current tune before anything is touched — every engagement starts with a saved rollback point.
- Safety limits set for YOUR build: WOT air/fuel ceiling, knock thresholds, boost cut, injector duty limit. These are hard gates, not suggestions.
- 2
Logging Setup
- We configure your logging: exact channel list, sample rates, and capture instructions — what to drive, what to log, how to send it.
- You never guess what data we need — you get a written capture checklist.
- 3
Baseline Analysis & Tune Plan
- Your first logs get a full workup: fueling across all zones (idle, warmup, cruise, transient, WOT), timing, knock activity per bank, boost tracking.
- You get a written tune plan: what's healthy, what needs work, in what order, and what the safety gates are.
- 4
The Tuning Cycle
Repeats weeklyAnalyzeChangeValidateRepeat- You drive and log per the capture checklist.
- We analyze the logs and return itemized changes — the exact tables, cells, and values to enter. No vague advice; numbers you can type in.
- You enter the changes and log the next drive.
- The next log validates the change before we move on. One variable at a time; the data decides, not the calendar.
- 5
Safety Gates
Continuous- Every change passes non-negotiable checks before and after: WOT air/fuel, knock per bank, injector duty, boost overshoot, fuel-trim drift.
- Power targets are approached in controlled steps with go/no-go gates. The engine decides the ceiling.
- 6
Documentation
Continuous- Every change logged with before/after values. Every issue tracked. Every session summarized.
- You get a complete written history of your tune — changelog, session log, metrics over time. Nothing lives in one tuner's head.
- 7
Monthly Report
- Each month closes with a written status report: what changed, what was measured, what's validated vs. pending, and what's next.
What you get
Every deliverable below is standard practice on live client engagements — not aspirational service copy.
Initial Map Review — tune audit
A full screen-by-screen audit of your existing tune without changing anything: a tune-quality verdict (what's genuinely good, what's missing), a sensor inventory (fitted / configured / validated), a protection review (knock, overboost, rev limits, engine protection), and a written report with prioritized recommendations.
Instrumentation specs & remote commissioning
Verified hardware recommendations — knock sensor kits, oil and fuel pressure senders — with wiring specs, ECU configuration, and validation gates. Your local shop installs; we commission and validate remotely.
Professional written reports
Every engagement produces written deliverables: initial review, session reports, change instructions with the exact tables, cells, and values, and graph-rich PDF progress reports charting boost, AFR, knock, and oil pressure from your own logs.
Root-cause forensics
When an engine fails, we investigate from the evidence — invoices, teardown photos, plug reads, map audit — and deliver a written verdict that frames the protection plan for the replacement engine.
Plans & pricing
Start with a Map Review, or jump straight into a full engagement — all three run on the same documented, safety-gated process. Pick the one that fits where your car is: most cars start with the Dial-In, and Monthly Support carries the car afterward.
Initial Map Review
The audit-first entry point: we review your existing tune end-to-end and hand you a written verdict with prioritized recommendations — before anything is changed. The natural first step before a Dial-In or monthly support.
Initial Dial-In
For cars new to us, or tunes that need a ground-up sort-out.
$1,500 one-time
- 6-week support window covering onboarding through the tuning cycle, intensively
- Up to 16 hours of analysis and calibration work

- Pay your way: one-time, milestone payments tied to delivered work, or Klarna financing at checkout
Monthly Tuning Support
Ongoing calibration support for cars in active development or seasonal refinement.
$800 / month
or subscribe: $720/mo — 10% off, 3-month minimum
- 8 hours of tuning work per month — about 4 full review cycles: log analysis, itemized changes, validation, documentation
- Weekly cadence: you drive on the weekend, changes come back early in the week
- Hours don't roll over; work beyond 8 hours is billed at $100/hr, only with your approval first — no surprise invoices
- Pay month by month at full price, or subscribe and save 10% — 3-month minimum, then month-to-month. Cancel anytime after the minimum.
What counts toward hours
Log analysis, tune revisions and writeups, documentation, and reports count toward your hours. Quick questions and scheduling emails don't. We publish this so there are never disputes about where your hours went.
Checkout is handled securely by Stripe. One-time payments (Dial-In and single months) support cards and buy-now-pay-later options like Klarna; subscriptions are billed to your card monthly.
Custom work is estimated first — and parts are always at cost
Anything beyond the standard plans (hardware installs, instrumentation, special projects) starts with a written estimate. You review it, approve it, and choose how you want to pay — one-time, milestone payments tied to delivered work, or financing. Nothing is billed until you've approved. The final price is expected to match the estimate; it changes only if an issue is found during the work, and that issue is documented and shared with you — with its cost — before any additional cost is incurred.
Parts on any estimate are passed through at cost, with receipts — we never mark up parts. Our margin is our labor, and you always see exactly where both went.
Your car must be healthy before we tune it
Remote tuning works from the data your car produces. If that data is wrong, every change built on it is wrong — and at wide-open throttle, wrong is expensive. Before any engagement begins, you confirm that:
- The engine is mechanically sound. No misfires, overheating, fuel delivery problems, oil pressure concerns, or unresolved faults. Tuning does not fix mechanical problems — it amplifies them.
- Every sensor the ECU relies on is installed, working, and verified reading correctly — wideband O2/AFR, MAP, intake air temp, coolant temp, TPS, and knock at minimum. A wideband that reads half a point rich is worse than no wideband at all: it steers the tune lean while telling us everything is fine.
- The build sheet you give us is accurate. Injectors, fuel pump, turbo, fuel type, and engine internals as declared. We set safety limits based on what you tell us — if the hardware doesn't match, the limits don't protect you.
If your logs reveal a mechanical or sensor fault, we stop tuning and tell you what to fix first. That diagnosis counts toward your engagement hours — but we will not calibrate around a known fault, at any price.
You remain responsible for the mechanical condition of your vehicle. We cannot inspect a car remotely; our calibration guidance is only as good as the data and build information you provide. Starting an engagement with undisclosed or unverified faults is at your own risk.
What this is (and isn't)
- Remote calibration for owner-managed cars with supported standalone ECUs
- Full log analysis, itemized changes, documented history, safety-first climb
- No dyno tuning — street/log-based remote support only
- No OEM-flash ECUs
Frequently asked questions
What if I go over my hours?
On the monthly plan, work beyond your 8 included hours is billed at $100/hr — only with your approval first. No surprise invoices. Hours don't roll over month to month. What counts toward hours: log analysis, tune revisions and writeups, documentation, and reports. Quick questions and scheduling emails don't burn hours.
Which ECUs do you tune?
Haltech Platinum Pro, Elite (ESP/NSP), and Nexus, plus ECUMaster EMU Black — standalone only, no OEM-flash tuning. If your car runs a supported standalone, we can support it.
Why no dyno?
This is street/log-based remote tuning. Every change is validated against real driving data from your car in its real conditions — the same data that protects your engine (air/fuel, knock, boost, injector duty) is the data that proves each change worked. We don't offer load-cell dyno service at this time.
Who enters the changes?
You do — this is client-managed tuning. We send itemized changes: the exact tables, cells, and values. You stay in control of your car and your ECU; we handle the analysis and the calibration decisions.
Tell us what we're working with
The more accurate your build sheet, the safer and faster your tune. We'll review it and reply by email — no commitment until we've talked it through.
