We "could" do installation but we are very backed up right now trying to get the new Rotrex kits built and in the customers hands. So we would not have time for installs at the moment.

We do have a Remote tuning option on the website.

Are there any limitations to remote tuning? Like would there be any benefit to tuning in person, or would remote tuning give you the full utility

I am interested in this kit, but mostly concerned about getting a bad installation and tune.

I am in washington, and could drive over to minneapolis for install and tune to make sure it's done right

Would feel better knowing it's been setup by the guy who built the kit

Other than you having to play the middle man, there's really no limitation. Any good tuner should be able to give you some logging parameters and tune it from those data logs. The benefits of tuning in person are letting the tuner see, hear, and feel the car while tuning.

Also some tuners have access to a dyno, which is a safer way to tune high performance vehicles. Not exactly smart to try and do 5th gear redline pulls on public roads although you shouldn't need that log for tuning anyway.

As far as remote tuning goes, I paid for remote tuning by Sebastian, and the installer was familiar with Ecutek (although not a registered Ecutek tuner) and knows Sebastian personally. The installer said that the Ecutek software is not always intuitive, and if you've never done it before, is better to pay someone with tuning experience.

The installer I use races, and is an expert with forced induction engines. He said that tuning on a dyno gives an inferior result. Most of the time, the customer will never run into issues, but sometimes, it can be catastrophic...especially if you're pushing the envelope. He said open-road tuning gives infinitely-better data logs.

That may be so but when you have a 700 and up whp monster you can't get out there and go all the way to redline in 4th, much less 5th on public roads. It is just not safe. Get caught or have an accident, you are going to jail for a long time. Running just makes it worse. Just because you see people getting away on the YouTubes doesn't mean that always happens. Most of the time they get caught. Very few get away. Ask me how I know.

OK, so I haven't updated my signature, and I haven't had a dyno run yet to post exact results. But Sebastian gave me a "beast mode" tune for ambient temps under 80F, that probably nets me in the neighborhood of 630hp to the wheels on 93 octane, maybe more. Redline is only in 5-10 seconds in 4th or 5th depending upon starting speed, and certainly less than a quarter mile. Seems to me you can easily find a suitable space on a safe road for a good open-throttle data log?

I hear you about your concerns, and perhaps circumstances are not the same if you live in a large metropolitan area. I'm only sharing what the tuner told me...your mileage may vary!

Anyone experience near overheating on this kit?

I’ve had it on since November, and started running E85 somewhere in April; makes close to 700whp or more now. I had a run against a new GT500 and beat it uphill, but by the end of the run I was one dot away from overheating and was having a decent amount of white smoke coming out of my hood vents. The run maybe lasted forty-five seconds at full WOT. Car eventually cooled down but I almost thought I had something on fire until I noticed it was just whitish-grey smoke that eventually stopped. When I finally pulled over there was no spilled coolant, car went back to normal, and car has felt fine since.

Did I experience head lift or something? I cant even begin to figure it out; I have no idea if overheating caused the white smoke or what. My knock sensors are on, all safety parameters are set, but car is basically at maximum send with the E85 power tune.

Weirdest part? Car drives fine. It’s had numerous hard pulls and has been pushed a bit. No running or idling issues at all.

I had the same experience with getting pulled over. I picked up my supercharged and flex fueled 370z from Dynosty in mid-April, and the first day home I attempted to record my first data log. An Illinois State Trooper pulled me over at well over 100 mph, but he gave me a break by writing the ticket for 85 mph instead of taking my license (and possible me to jail) for reckless driving. He was not interesting in seeing my phone app or discussing data logging in general. I'll need to up date my info, but the car made 685whp and 495wtq on e85 and 630whp and 478wtq on 93. I've gone WOT several times without issue, and my 34 row Fast Intentions oil cooler and expanded oil pan are doing their jobs. I sent copies of the dyno sheets to Aaron.

Sounds like you lifted the heads. You have a headgasket that is leaking but it is not real bad yet.
