Blood Type Racing (BTR) working on Stinger tunes (2.0/3.3)

I have no idea, I live in Chicago so I was excited to have a local place do a bench flash soon but it seems like that won't be an option for me.

I live in the Chicago area as well. WTF man WHY did you have to deliver these news?

Why man? Why?

Seems like I will have to wait a year or so for Lap 3 or go to pressertech this summer.

8m just more confused on who would invest their time in starting work on a tune, say they are close to a finished product, and then just completely abort mission lol

I agree, something is going on.

That is weird companies don't just do that. Unless their tuner left or something crazy happens.

I am sure they can still tune the Stinger, do you want to go and hold these people hostage in their own shop until they tune our cars?

I am down! Who else wants to join?​

It's weird they haven't posted anything on their website or social media accounts about what's going on, a tuner shop that doesn't do tunes is kind of an issue

I just looked through my browsing history and here are a couple of their ECU tunes that were removed:

I gave my opinion in other threads early on and it still holds up I think. It just does not make financial sense to function in a monolithic way Lap3 and BTR did with regards to tuning. You want to sell a ton of tunes you make a product that can be used by local tuners and sell hundreds of thousands of them a la Cobb. Leverage the hardware/software cost across several models. Unfortunately Hyundai/Kia did make it hard for tuners to flash via OBDii with the implementation of their security gateway.

BTRs 2 weeks is really long.
If you go big turbo kit Lap3 will give you their ecu tune now .

Did they actually start selling those kits? I see people ask all the time, and then they just ignore the question and post another video of that single car over in Korea.

Tuner/Shop fallout would be my guess.

Angel, looks like my 1/4 mile time is safe for a few more months....

They are selling them now but picking their customers. Probably more of a beta phase still.
They have new one under way with a 650 whp target but not sure if its in Korea or the US.
We need one in the US so it can hit the 1/4 mile!

Did they get out of the tuning game all together? The only items I can find for sale on their site in relation to tuning now are Cobb AccessPorts.

They did they are going to get more focused on OBD tuning

Hahahahaha LOL

I would not count on that. I might remove my hood, trunk and doors and give it a go.

You never safe in the #1 spot lol everyone is coming for you!!!

All jokes aside I am torn man, I will most likely go to presertech this summer. Work with them and Terry to see what I can do. I might talk to Terry and get WMI to see where I can improve to get a better time until I can figure out the ecu tune part out.

In the meantime I will probably go the track May 5th. I might luck out and get an 11.8 lol......

Lol Tork is probably celebrating these guys are out the game.

I am not screwed Wash, I still got the JB4 brother!

I will work with Terry to get WMI or do something to try to improve my time.
