Looking for a new tuner

Hello,

I bought an f80 a while back and it came with some tunes. One of which is a Cary Jordan E85 tune. The tune is majorly broken and is misfiring, but Cary is refusing to fix the tune because I am not the person who purchased the tune. I have had a poor experience with him and I'm looking for a new tuner for MHD. I had f80paul on my old car and I loved it but unfortunately, I don't have bootmod3 anymore.

I just switched to Ecutek and discovered it’s a fantastic platform. If you’re set on MHD try working with Cary who tunes for the platform. He has fantastic tunes especially for E85. If you’re open to Ecutek then Bend Calibration is the tuner I went with. Finally, you could go back to bootmod3 and buy my license 😜

Are you sure it's the tune that's broken and you don't just need new plugs?

This sounds about right...also make sure that the tune matches your octane...like you dont want a 93 tune on 91 octane

I'd suggest to buy a used BM3 license here for $350 and then go with F80Paul again. He did a great job for me.

There's quite a few skilled MHD tuners if you're not happy with one. Look into:

Steven@WedgePerformance
PureBoost
Jordan@RKTunes

Just did plugs on the car a 5000 miles ago, almost positive it isn't plugs bc the fuel/air ratio is way to low.

I've heard great things about Jordan, I'm probably going to go there since they're close to me. The only issue is that they charge a ton for their tunes. Worth it though, Rk is definitely one of the best.
