Help a friend running EL Tune on JDL UEL headers - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi all,
thank you all for this great community we have here, lot of smart and collaborative folks on here learning from each other. i have a question, both my friend and i have JDL UEL headers, catted, he has Borla and i Have ARK catback.

i am running the OFT 2.076 UEL stage 2 tune, while he is running a UNiCHIP tune he got for his stock EL headers. i have been trying to convince him to switch to the OFT UEL tune, but he insists that UNICHIP tech told him he is just fine.

i know the cars sound different, his UEL headers sound rough/raw with the EL tune due to the VVT tables, maybe the sound is cool, just curious, does running the EL tune with UEL headers leave power/TQ on the table ? is it strickly a sound thing? is there power to be gained/lost? what about reliability?

just curious, i am guessing he is not the only one running EL tune on UEL headers.

thanks again in advance,
Neil

Does unichip influence cam timing?
