No, they net you the same power. I think you're forgetting the owner of this company is the guy who was responsible for all of the custom tunes at IPD. These tunes are probably extremely similar to IPD's. Also, IPD tells you how HORSEPOWER you'll gain, which is extremely deceiving since horsepower is NOT the same as wheel horse power. Like your car stock is 222hp, that's probably only like 190-200whp......if that. ARD tells you what you could expect to gain WHP wise, not HP wise.

Yeah, he has way more variations of tunes than other companies before going completely custom. If I still needed a tune, I would go there. I will also be going to him for ANY reflashes I need, especially for when I eventually do water/meth.

 

I have a 16T, not an 18T, Mad Matt.

Gilber: as always, an excellent point. I havent looked at the HP numbers in depth enough yet to see how they were rating things. Thanks for the heads up though, and it's good to know that this guy knows his stuff.

 

My mistake, I got confused between you running the 16T and us suggesting the OP to run an 18T.
So if you run the Green tune ("Typical gain of 40 WHP") what does that equate to BHP wise? Actually, what are the estimated drive train losses in the 850's?

 

not sure how WHP equates to BHP. But I've heard drivetrain losses on the 850s (automatics) anywhere from 15-20%.

 

FWD vehicles typically have a drivetrain loss in a FWD car is typically 10-15% with a manual transmission. Depending on the transmission setup, figure an additional 2-5% for an automatic.
