what options do i have for tuning my stage 3 set up? can you buy software to tune the factory computer with a laptop? thanks.

 

Let me get this straight, you want to re-tune your Stage 3 PCM????

nothing wrong with wanting to tune. i'm tuning my s3 with a dtec and hopefully my ems will be in and tuned friday. some people just want more out of their cars than what the kits provide. everyone knows that s3 has a LOT more potential than is programed into the ecu.

 

There is also a new program out by STC(?) that you can use to actually tune the mopar PCMs as well. Over 400 configurable fields. I think it is around $1k for everything you would need to do it. Saw a thread on the other forum...

 

yea but don't be surprised when mother mopar sues you for using it. our ecu's are copywrite protected.

 

ok thanx 4 your input

 

I wouldn't think a copywrite would prevent you from changing parameters on the ecu, just from copying and selling it (I think you would have to make a profit off the ecu somehow before they could sue). Aside form that, how would they ever know? Even if you went to Dodge, which if you were at that level of tuning would be pointless, money says the techs there wouldn't even know what was going on....

 

no the techs wouldn't know what's going on, but you're a fool if you think that mother mopar isn't all over all these forums watching what everyone is doing. a number of people have already been threatened to be sued by dcx if they released the way to program the stock ecu. more than a few people have cracked it and are using it as a standalone, but the ability to do so isn't availible publicy because mopar does not let it.
