Prices are insane and additional cost for E85 is boggling. Tried to run Franks tune when I met him a track day once. He said yes, but couldnt get the real tuner ( Uncle Somebody, i dont recall the name, who is from eastern Europe) on the phone. he had all the equipment there with him, just not the tuner.. Now that I think about it, makes sense why the price is higher than other reputable tuners. for 1 tune, you pay TTFS $xxxx, and then TTFS has to pay "Uncle" $yyy, that leaves $zzz +overhead for ttfs to charge |

Gintani and rk tune both charge more for e85. Even going na the tune is actually more expensive when you go to purchase. Dme tuning charges more just based on stage for a m5 literally same work prices change just on the level of power that was asked for. So someone asking for more on a e85 tune with as much kick back people give about doing e85 on blower tunes clearly someone isn’t as cut and dry as it seems. |

Maybe, but you didnt ask who "Uncle" is, or why he was needed to tune mine.. Secondly, the 3 other tuning entities you mentioned have platform records, so if they charge a bit more, they sorta earned it, dont you think? But a remote tune from TTFS will add another $600 on top of the $1350.. so im pretty sure the other 3 are hundreds of dollars less when all factors are considered |

It’s also clear you arent actually reading anything on the site as the e85 supercharger tune is for REMOTE it’s 1350 total. Rk is 1500 and gintani is the same when you actually call and ask. Rk will no longer do e85 tunes for the e90 period. Two other members who actually paid for it never got there car tuned one who actually drove 3 hours to a dyno and paid for dyno time and then got left on the side with no tune. Every tuners has their ups downs. |

Regardless off the price point, the E85 tune worked on a supercharged M3? There was any fueling issues? I can see that they mention changing the injector, but what about fuel pump and fuel lines?

E9x supercharged and f-series tt is gigantic in comparison. why go with a tuner that charges more, with no platform comparable feats accomplished? You seem to be a TTFS fanatic, but have not yet answered who UNCLE is for us, and why he wasnt able to tune me that day. This is all 1st hand accounts. Not hearsay as with RK. Do you have a personal relationship with TTFS? Last edited by Pro-AM3; 11-15-2018 at 08:25 AM.. |

Power records are debatable but yet before sal breaking it 2 weeks ago the only gintani record was a dyno lol. But yet you had no problem supporting that because it fit you agenda funny how that works right. E46 sc sales are actually pretty large even bigger after active came out with the prima kit, there are hundreds of them sold. Just because you aren’t part of that markets doesn’t determine its size. I can’t tell you why someone didn’t tune you car. I’ve gotten the same response from rk. Can’t tune these any more e9x car. Maybe he didn’t want too maybe that was rks deal with me who knows. If I remember correctly they went down there to do a gt2rs so maybe it was out of the focus. I’ve stayed I’ve actually had two cars done by him. And watched him My self tune multiple others in Florida at the dyno. From e39 with blowers to f10m5s when they still had to drill the ecu and patch it which he did him self in the shop. Lastly try climbing the link we are actually talking about an not something else. The link posted is 1350 remote tune e9x supercharged e85. |

Rubens tuned Sergei's low compression supercharged stroker that Bert and Van Dyne built. It made about 885 whp. That's the record AFAIK. |

Biased though my car is presently tuned by mike at bpm? I vouche for mike as well, my car just went 154 at the standing 1/2 mile event in Dallas. Frank has tuned my last e90m which went 149.7 at the ga heavens landing half mile 2 years ago. I’ve met frank in person in Florida at another friend s shop and he tuned my car while there he tuned a f10 m5 . A e46 which still holds the supercharged half mile record at 159. And a supercharged e39. Frank is pretty well known in south Florida even out side the bmw community by those like Criss speed who is as well a tuner who has put cars in the 7s in the 1/4 mile that will vouche for frank for a reason. Something I’ve also seen from tuners is making up an excuse to not tune a car because of a persona personality that they don’t want as a customer, maybe you are that person. If I recall frank was at msr to provide support to a gt2rs not to tune e9x m3s. Lastly someone here asked had someone used the e85 tune for a supercharged e90m you in fact had not purchased that. You went as far to go off tangent to talk about customer tunes at a different price on a completely separate link that had nothing to do with a e85 1000cc injector tune which is beating discussed here.
