BM3 OTS Stage 1 vs custom tune?

NovaChris · 01-30-2023, 05:56 PM

I’m making the jump to an OTS stage 1, can you guys confirm that a custom tune isn’t really needed? I’m not doing downpipes e85 etc. Only mod is axle back muffler.

Not needed but could get more power and smoothness, probably.

Is the ots stage 1 pretty unrefined?

Cary Jordan tune will make the car feel much better IMO. The power curve is buttery smooth.

It's unnecessary, but you get more power and smoother delivery with a custom map.

We also offer Jordan Tuning OTS+ maps which are not custom but provide more power than the bm3 OTS maps.

So if I want a custom tune where do I go on your site? I see the Jordan S55 tune section. It talks about a custom tune if you have aftermarket parts which I don’t but all I see from the selection screen are the normal tunes. I would assume I would want 93 octane since I am not doing Ethonal.

Maybe I missed something but thanks for your help in advance.
