Your comparing a tune (BSR) to a tuning tool (HPTuners). The tool (HPTuners) requires someone smart behind the keyboard to make effective use of it. The tune (BSR) only requires a check and assumes the person on the other end of the keyboard knew what he was doing when it was initially built.

i can see this is about to turn ugly.
for people that bought or will buy the hpt there are pros and cons and the same with the bsr.
pros for hpt- cost of the tune(more on this later), the ability to get the most power from your car.
cons- the $$$ you are going to pay for a tuner to go in and make your tune better,the cost of the dyno to tune it. which at this point you have bought the bsr tune. as noted,the difference was 3-4 hp. the other con is,there are people on this board(not you eric) and all over the usa that think because they have a lap top and a tuning program,they are brian o'conner and can tune a car. we will see how long the lnf will last with them.
bsr-pros- you have a company that have been doing this a long time and they are very trust worthy. for those of us with the bsr,we know it's a big difference night and day. so the "we don't who did what behind the keyboard"...comment is moot to me. i know my car is faster and have more power. mission accomplished. easy to operate. no need to keep going back adjusting stuff.
cons- the price is a little high,but in todays economy,what's $300??? that's the difference between the tunes.
you don't have the ability to go in and get more power and tune.
all in all,both tunes do the same thing.until proven or other parameters open up the hpt is not that much different from bsr. the price of the tunes will be the same or hpt might be slighty more. depends on who you know with a dyno or you know how to tune. i understand the hpt have/is a canned tune. so there is really no difference,but $300,if you don't go in and adjust.

I am shure ADM knows what they are doing as well but Flaco is local and I got the same tune + any issuses I can see Flaco anyday of the week right here at home
Why has know one asked what kind of bost you guys are seeing?
What kind of boost were you seeing on the dyno?

Correct ADM(Andy) we thank you for those kind words its all for fun anyways...its not like we were running for pink slips or betting on the dyno well ok we were betting on the dyno but we were way under...we were like 10 H/P under what we thought it should have...
