Dyno testing is complete on the upcoming E30 Fiesta Flash Tune, and I must say, I’m pretty damn happy with the results! Mods are still the same on our 2016 test car; a Cobb drop-in filter and Denso step-colder spark plugs. That’s it!
We picked up more than 100 ft/lbs. of torque from 2,700-3,300 RPM, over the OEM tune on 93 octane! And not only are these huge gains seen down low, but torque is sustained all the way out to redline!
Peak wheel hp on the E30 tune was 211whp, which may not seem like huge gains compared to our 93 octane Flash Tune results of 201whp. But peak power was made up near 5,000 RPM. If you look at the area under the curve (AUC), and the amount of power gained all the way leading up to peak power, you can see where this tune really shines. There is nearly a 40whp gain at 3,300 RPM!
The E30 Flash Tune should be available on my website within the next week!

(That is a GOOD thing and a testament to Jason's hard work) I did a few back-to-back A/B testing of the tunes on 2 different days then remained on the Dizzy for the rest to get some seat time in and feel. Now after more driving time on the Dizzy I made a few observations. My first few back to back tests I was not able to do maximum all out/wide open pulls, so I did not notice much difference as both tunes are very smooth and have great drivability. It was just the past couple evenings when I had some open roads during some rural country driving- Damn! This tune feels like it pulls harder up top than my Strat tune! ![[burnout]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_burnout.gif "Burnout [burnout]"){kind=icon}
Every time I did a pull I was like- man that pulled harder than I was expecting! On the Stratified tune my boost peaks mostly at 24-25psi, and on a couple occasions up to 26psi, VS the Dizzy tune where my peak boost so far is 23psi. Visually monitoring the boost gauge, it looks that the Strat tapered down a bit faster and the Dizzy held a bit longer and tapered less. In a SLIGHT way, I feel like the Strat starts pulling a LITTLE more at first down low and in a very linear way build power.. The Dizzy feels like it waits a SLIGHT bit longer- but the power comes on stronger...![[cheers]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_cheers.gif "Cheers [cheers]"){kind=icon}
In summary the biggest thing I noticed: I feel like both tunes are very smooth and powerful and have very similar driveability, but to me, on the Dizzy tune the car feels like it pulls harder up top. ![[strongman]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_strongman.gif "Strongman [strongman]"){kind=icon}
Thank you Jason for letting me test your tune and I will certainly be having more fun with it in the future.
