Hey all I was thinking of getting a flash tuner for my ba xr8.
Has cold air intake 2.5 inch x-force exhaust with extractors. Will a flash tune make a difference and which is best? TIA |

If you are going to tune, use PCMTec, you don't need a flash tuner.
Tunes are stored in your PCM (ECU) and can be changed on the fly. I have four tunes in the PCM on my Ute, 91,E10(94), 95 & 98.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

My understanding (may be wrong) is that a tune doesn't make a big difference to the 8. Still go for it if you want.
The Turbo though could get massive gains cheaply compared to the 8. The BA 8s sound great. |

It may well be that figure, but best to ask ratter or another pro to get the right (and more accurate) advice. |

PCM has a lot of nice functions . Your best bet would be to select a tuner you trust and they will give you more details |
