[QUOTE="Whipple Charged, post: 1194533, member: 5304"] I think many have custom vs what we do confused. A custom cal from other tuners typically read the stock file. From this stock file, they have access to 500-2000 different paramters, many you wouldn't touch. They then modify this and go from there for upgrades. The issue with this, first, there is well over 20,000 parameters in a stock engine file (not counting transmission). 2nd issue, there are many cals from the factory and as updates get released, more and more cals get out meaning you can apply your same changes to a different cal, but, because there are plenty of tables you can't get to, you may have to make the cal differently or it will run/react differently. Therefore you are constantly chasing the calibration. It's not bad per say, but its hard to truly have a perfect calibration when variables are changing over time. A Whipple Ford cal is done with factory tools, factory software with OEM type support. A cal is designed to change the entire torque model, meaning all the tables are using the changes correctly, which allows the trans to shift better and overall feel like a peppy OEM cal vs quirks that some aftermarket cals can have. This cal is then applied using OEM tools to all versions of the cals, which means its a proper calibration each time. It does not need "custom" tuning which allows for the PCM to be shipped in house vs a flash tool to work. It doesn't need updates, it doesn't need to deal with surgining, knocking, etc. because its built like an OEM cal. As for flash tools, we are working on one to be supplied with the future kits but until that day, PCM's will have to be shipped in. [/QUOTE]
