If you splice the yellow Corona wire with the green Heineken wire, you will get super boost.

HCP, Evolve, and DME are all pretty good

All about $2K

Look at BM3, which is platform of tuners. Evolve isn't offered through that unfortunately.

I have both HCP and DME through BM3 and they are both fairly similar in terms of times that I have been able to put down.

Mo@DME is fantastic! And I highly recommend working with him due to how helpful he is ... let him know I sent you if you decide to use him

I connected both Drew and JBA with DME. Great company and a great guy and easy to work with. I think they can both verify that as well.

Imran and the guys from Evolve are also amazing. I use tunes from both companies.

All the tunes provide low 10 second potential. I'm partial to the JB4 since its the only one that an be installed and removed without a trace, is only $1000 with blue tooth, can be resold later, and has some unique features not offered by the flash maps.

I'm leaning towards DME as well. Just waiting till I decide which DP to get. He offered me a deal for the tune plus SSR downpipes but haven't heard too many videos of that setup so not sure

I thought HCP would give me the best times on 93 based on what I saw on dragy, but I consistently put my best times down with the DME tune. They are pretty close, but DME is just a tad faster. It is hot today but I was running HCP all day and the best time I could muster was 7.23 on the 60-130 w stage 2 on 93 pump. Switched over to DME and 6.90 first run.

Admittedly, I think BM3 may be have some glitches because after loading HCP my RPMs on cold start we're having some issues and when I flashed to stock it through some codes. This may have been because I flashed my DME Stage 2 using Femto and then flashed straight to HCP Stage 2 using BM3 (maybe I need to flash to stock in Femto and then to HCP in BM3) ....

A lot of the times on dragy are with enhanced fuels

Here is a run I just did with DME Stage 2 on 93 Octane:

Mo@DME is super helpful.
