Remote calibration / how it works

You stay with your car

Nothing ships. Only the file moves

Your stock read goes up, a calibration comes back down, and a datalog goes back up after you drive it. The car stays where it is. That loop runs on SCT, HPTuners, Holley EFI and ACES EFI, and it is the same work that happens on the rollers in Monroeville, New Jersey.

Build your tune
  1. A white Mustang GT with the hood raised, parked beside the shop hub dyno
    Starts at your own laptop

    Step 01 / 04

    Configure & checkout

    Pick your platform, build your tune, pay in two minutes. Stripe, fully secure.

    Pick your platform, select your vehicle and year, and list your mods. Pay through Stripe in about two minutes. Your confirmation lands right away, and a support ticket opens automatically so every detail of your build stays together.

  2. A low front three quarter view of the same white Mustang GT with the hood up and a cold air intake fitted
    The read comes off the car

    Step 02 / 04

    Send your stock file

    Guided upload of your factory calibration. We tell you exactly what to pull.

    You pull your factory calibration, the stock read, straight from the car through the OBD-II port with your SCT or HPTuners device. We send exact, step by step read instructions for your platform. Upload that stock file to your ticket and we build from it.

The part no software does for you

In between, a person writes it

Your stock file lands in the ticket with your mods list sitting next to it. Both get opened, and the calibration is written around what is actually bolted to your car. Fuel, timing and load are set for your combination, not pulled off a shelf and renamed.

The same eye that reads a pull on the rollers reads your datalog. That is the whole reason a remote tune can be trusted at a distance.

  1. A black Ford F-150 with the hood up, coupled to the hub dyno with the dyno display running behind it
    Flash it where you park it

    Step 03 / 04

    Flash your tune

    Your custom file lands in your inbox. Flash it with your SCT / HPTuners device.

    Your finished calibration comes back to your ticket, built for your exact combination. Load it onto the same device and flash it to the car in your own driveway. It takes a few minutes. No dyno time, no shop visit, no waiting on a bay.

    Log, send, revise

    Step 04 / 04

    Log & refine

    Send datalogs back. We revise until it is dialed. Keys never leave your pocket.

    Drive the car and record a datalog. The device logs live sensor data, air and fuel, timing, load, and knock, while you drive. Send the logs back and a revised file returns to you. We run that loop until the tune is dialed. Your keys never leave your pocket.

When a file is not enough Bring it to the rollers

Before you start What you need

01

A compatible device

An SCT or HPTuners handheld or interface covers most platforms. Holley EFI and ACES EFI setups connect through their own software. Your platform page lists exactly what fits your car.

02

A laptop

A Windows laptop with your device software installed, plus a USB cable. You read the stock file, flash the tune, and pull datalogs from the same machine.

03

Your vehicle details

Year, engine, transmission, and fuel, plus a full list of your mods. Your VIN lets us confirm exact fitment before we write a line of calibration.
