NM ECU tune

Does anyone have any info on the NM ECU tune?
There was a little write up in the new issue of European Car magazine.

I read the article last night but there's nothing about it online. In the article the ECU tune is quoted at 209lb-ft @ 2828 and 185 @5962, a gain of 13lb-ft and 23hp over their baseline. Boost is 16psi @ 4500. Listed price is $500 and retains the sport button.

I read the same article tonight at Barnes and Noble. What was really odd is they first reviewed the tune and stated the specs you guys posted above. They then went on to do further tests with the nm cai and exhaust. adding those two items only increased hp by I think 3 for a total of 188. Additional costs of those two items ($1100+) seem to make no sense considering the 3 hp gain.


Anyway, got home did some searching and found nothing.

Stick with Jan at RMW. He can get you as much as this for $600: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...16-post41.html.

He was in the DC area at the end of April the weekend before MOTD. Not sure when he will be back there. There was also a spot appearance at Dan's in Thomasville, NC about a month ago or so.

Oh, yeah. You have a Laurel Edition. Did not notice. Hmm... I know some are trying to get Jan to the Atlanta area. I think I also saw something about Connecticut. Just keep hunting the forums.

Looks like the competition is heating up in the tuning space.

except I think we (56) are a little more pricey, sadly

edit: i think i was referring to the flash tool tune... something like 900ish

I reread the article in European Car. The NM tune seems like it is something to consider if you were in the market. Importantly, the tune is being evaluated by an independent source.

Good to hear that there is some new competition out.

RMW has been proven time and time again, so theyll be hard to beat, but still good news none-the-less
