Delicious Etune current opinions

[tofurun]

This should hopefully be my last part question for a while. I am coming to the end of my NA build and this is my last step. I am looking at getting the Delicious Stage 2 tune w/ E85 flex fuel kit.

My question is for anyone that has been running their off the shelf tune for a while. How is it holding up (would you recommend it and is it safe). Were there a lot of revisions that had to be made sending the logs back and forth? I know their site recommends the ace headers and i have the JDL so I am hoping since its NA there wont be much of a difference. Also the problems with logging it on 93 vs logging it on E85. I am going to use a local dyno to log but I know its going to be a pain to completely drain the tank to log E85 for them. I know some people bash etunes but there isnt anyone local I trust to tune this car.

Set up
-JDL UEL headers catless
-Perrin Overpipe
-Invidia Front pipe resonated
-Perrin 2.5in Catback resonated

Perrin Inlet and Intake. Not BigMAF

They've got their tune pretty well nailed down now. I honestly doubt you'll need any revisions, but if you do, they've always been, at the worst, reasonably quick to reply, and normally, down right quick.


I know this isn't the popular opinion, but I actually prefer a well tested e-tune than a one off tune. If I go to the local shop and have my car tuned it'll be optimized for that day, that elevation, that air pressure, etc. If I get a tune from someone like Delicious Tuning or Moto East, the tune will have been tested at a multitude of conditions. It's my opinion, that this could and should lead to an overall smoother running tune.


I did have one complaint with DT, I wasn't a fan of their throttle response mapping. It was close, just that the low speed, low load area seemed to dampen inputs too much. I found it made parking and backing up difficult. This is a very minor grip, BTW. I recently upgraded to an ACE header and got a new tune from DT, my god have they nailed the response in this tune. It's perfect.

I using Delicious. AMAZING service. Tune runs fine for me. Can't recommend them more

Theirs is tuned for 91. I guess with the flex fuel kit and everything 93 should be no issue because I have no where to go for 91 lol

Ive run everything from e85 to 91 in my car with the delicious tune never had a single issue. Idle with the ac on while running e85 likes to surge a bit and ive had a issue with cold start on e85 in cooler weather but they offered to make adjustments to it I just have not gotten them the log for them to do it so that can tell you kinda how much of a minor annoyance it was for me.

That rlly doesn't sound that bad. My biggest concern is knock I guess. As long as people aren't seeing that on ots from delicious I really am not too worried

Ive had 0 issues with any unsafe conditions

[jasonojordan]

I've been running Delicious flash n go tunes for nearly 3 years. During this time I've been boosted and NA, on both 91 and E85. The tunes have always been spot on for me.

[BRZtoni]

been using there tune for over 2 yrs now. 1 yr of n/a and another year of FI tune. now im on the E85 FI tune.

i track and sort of daily my car so its reliable.

I got one of the first innovate SC and they had delivery problems so DT sent me a NA tune to use while I waited. the difference was amazing . then when I got the SC they sent me the new tune. I have been running it on street and track with no problems. they have sent revisions periodically with nice improvements.
