I'm use to carrying wounded soldiers but this time it was a 4 year old boy in critical condition. Sure did hit the heart hard thinking of my 2 year old son. Glad I could be apart of getting him home.
Here are some random pictures. I didn't take much. Also had a beautiful sky to welcome me home this morning in Ohio and a picture of my old plane I use to fly on that was parked next to us (C-5) and an Ausi C-17. They only have 5. Rest of the pics are random
that's awesome!!!

I Googled "dimsport genius flashpoint" and found the manufacturer's website. It's an Italian company apparently. So maybe they know what to do with the Bosch ECU (?) They list it in their supported ECU .pdf as well as the applications list. I didn't do much more research than that, however. Not sure I would want Rx to be involved at this point. I would give things time to see where it all goes...

i'm still willing to give RX a chance. sure, there has been a few bad experiences, but i'm thinking there have been a lot more good, than bad. Just want to know more about this tune. like, can i purchase it and have my own shop with a tuner, tune the LLT.

I saw it and honestly at this point I wouldn't consider it after all that has happened. If i ever get a tune it will be IPF for performance or just the Trifecta to take off my CEL that I will get with headers.

you wouldn't even consider it, if all you did was purchase it through RX, and tune yourself, or through your own shop, like HPT?

well, after doing some quick searching on dimsport genius tune. it's quite expensive. like, thousands of dollars expensive. so i guess we would need to take our car to rx, or more email tunes. fml

Like i said i probably wouldn't consider it. I myself have had some minor issues with Tracy and while he resolved them it was a hassle for myself to get it figured it out. And I know other people personally that have had issues with him. I don't want to go any further than this for obvious reasons.

When i do a tune i will either do the IPF from Matt at FSP or I will be doing the Trifecta just to get rid of the CEL since for a manual it really has no other use.

Yea I know I don't want to do Ghost Cam. Never been a fan of changing the Timing of the motor. If you ask me that is just asking for problems with misfires and such

All I'm going to say on the subject is you should just google him. You can't fake those results

I have the ghost cam but I don't even use it. It scares me thinking it might do more damage than good.
