Don't want to speak for them, but Mission Performance used to comment on this thread....maybe they can chime in on some of these questions as I'm curious too. Oh, and maybe they can address the update and robbed horsepower (with comparable dyno graphs) that has been the chatter on here as well.

So yes, if Mission Performance would show the before and after dyno graphs, yes, it might clarify some of this. Of course, they are probably annoyed by all of this and only want to comment on their tune (which they're not doing either). |

A drop of over 50hp is equivalent to a big turbo kit and a stage 3 tune on the N55. It's a difference that would of been perceptible to all, yet no one claim any power lost. They already set the stage with this power-robbing claim, when someone else can verify it, then I'll take their word for it. Until then, it's just marketing. |

I've been a fan of MP for years and have enjoyed Alex's tunes on my last several cars. That aside my current car is delivering just shy of 400 WHP on 91 crap gas and 2 gallons of E85. I regularly AutoX the car and we simply abuse it mercilessly - and it's never skipped a beat. This 48 year old guy (who has owned 35+ cars - all modified to some degree) couldn't be happier with the blend of reliability and performance the tune delivers. That aside I have had the opportunity to ride in Alex's personal M340 with this tune running cali 91 and maybe a gallon of E85. And the car is just phenomenal. Linear hard acceleration when you want it and stock like driveability when you are just cruising. The M340 really benefits from the new HPFP combined with Alex's wizardry. While my MP tuned 340 is no slouch the MP tuned M340 is a noticeable notch above my 340 for sure. Not sure if this helps - just sharing my 2-cents |

I may have missed it, but would be the appropriate drivetrain loss % for RWD and AWD be ? AWD>RWD , I suppose but how by how much? (With auto, of course)

Gents – can’t and don’t want to speak for MP but let me tell you what I have learned about working with Alex at MP. What I am sharing here is simply how things have worked based on speaking with him and also reading countless posts here and on other forums
Alex will be the first to say "I am not a social media company and I do not live on the forums." He participates here as time and desire permits. He is also quick to point out "I do my best to make myself available via phone and email whenever someone wants to reach me. And if someone is serious about my tunes/builds/track cars etc. they should simply reach out to me directly." Some people will say he should run his business differently etc...and he will then say that he is not a fit for those people. And he will openly say there are plenty of other tuners out there that are more active on social media, forums etc…so if that’s your thing go for it and take your money there. And I've witnessed him say the same to people who have wanted tunes to chase dyno numbers to a point that he felt was unsafe (Im not your guy). He doesn't brag about FB followers, he doesn't live on forums, he doesn't have stickers or license plate frames but spend some time learning about what he has accomplished and delivers (as I did) and draw your on conclusions about who you trust and want to do business with. I'm only sharing this because IMHO you shouldn't put too much weight into him not responding to a thread....who cares it takes nothing away from his proven capabilities, if you want to work with him he is available to you.

I remember that post (I responded) seems most all are more than happy with what the MP tune delivers but some struggle with communication |
