probably be better to ask in the DDMWorks section. I know you can buy them from BNR, but that way Dave might see it. also, try emailing Dave and asking at Dave@ddmworks.com

Makes sense. I wish BNR had a better web presence so they could do a better job of keeping customers informed and answering emails and such. Same goes for Trifecta. Although, I suppose that would cause an increase in prices.

Trifecta has their own forum for questions- wot-tuning.com
BNR had a trouble ticket system on their website, as well as an email for support- customersupport@badnewsracing.net

I'm aware, they (BNR) don't seem to respond to inquiries in the form of email or a ticket. I know they (he?) are (is?) probably overwhelmed with business right now.
I think a lot of improvements could be made in the ordering process for tunes. I did a good deal of research and still wasn't quite sure what I was doing when I ordered my tune. I found a lot of conflicting or confusing information about what, exactly, comes with a full tune, what options are available, what options you need to ask for, and what, exactly, those options are. Key words being "exactly".
In the ordering process the options could be listed with a concise explanation of each one. Select-a-tune, smart octane, etc. I was quite confused by the back and forth regarding smart octane and intelliboost. It would not be hard to insert a small, up-to-date overview so that customers could be aware of what is available and could be confident that their order is easy for BNR and Trifecta to understand. It would make things easier for everybody.
I realize the information is out there, but it is difficult to find and hard to verify, and it doesn't have to be.

I already did order a tune, I've been trying to figure out exactly what I got and I haven't heard back from BNR yet. I haven't spammed them with inquiries or anything, I just sent one email and then included the same inquiries with my first datalog.

I bought the Stage 1 kit on 12-20. It was on sale for $545, I think. I can't complain because that is an insane deal, I just see an opportunity for the ordering process, and the Trifecta marketing in general, to be vastly improved.

When I ordered the tune I said that I always use 93 octane, but if there's any way to enable me to use 91 as well that would be great because I may someday find myself in another state and only be able to find 91. I don't know if I got a 93 octane tune or a smart octane tune. I'm assuming my tune is ECP enabled, I thought all tunes were unless you request otherwise, but I don't know for sure.
When I was flashing my tune I noticed at one point it said something like "39xxblah78blahxx". I saw that and figured it seemed to be 87-93 backwards, and was wondering if that means it's smart octane.

Refers to the ECU.
Premium for Trifecta is 91.

OK, so can I assume I have a 91 octane tune and do not have smart octane? And can I also assume my tune is ECP enabled? All the recent tunes are ECP enabled by default, right?

OK, good to know. Eric and gang, do you think I should get ECP enabled if I only plan on running the DDMWorks intake, cat-back and test pipe? Or is it not necessary for those components? Would there be any advantage or disadvantage in getting it enabled?
