The tuner does not touch shift points right now. It's because the tow tune has reduced timing to deal with the higher loads to fight pinging issues...

So what is the difference between the Cortex and the Flashpaq? Do they have the same maps? As far as I can tell the Cortex can stream data, do 0-60 runs, etc., is that the only difference?

Ok, I have a question for the guys running the 93 tune and loving the gains with the +3 timing advance option. Do you have a 2* timing advance on the stock tune? If so, you are running a total of +5*advance in timing with the superchips tune. Like I said, just curious.

No, the timing advance over rides any settings put in by the factory for at least the premium tune... +5* of timing would be very bad.

Awesome thread guys!

'09 PRO-4X, KC 4x4, V6 6-SPD
Truck due in July

I am very seriously considering this item, the Cortex Model 4950

I have found it on 4wheelonline for $342.95 + Free Ship, best price I have yet to find.

For me, I'm planning to go with jut WOT disable and 87, I don't want to feed the truck a higher octane gas, I mainly want the ability to have WOT restored.

Wrong, at least in my case. I had the advance done at the dealer, when Superchips came out with the ability to change timing with the 91 Performance tune I was able to decrease my timing from +2 to 0. Maybe the 3* is on top of that, or it could be +3* from a baseline of 15*?

The timing advance to 3* is only available for the 93 perfomance tune. What your refering to on the 91 tune is the ability to drop 2 degrees of timing in case of pinging - there was no advance available on that tune.

As for it over writing, scott i believe made mention of this in one of his posts...

On the 91 tune I went from +2 degrees to 0 degrees to -2 degrees. I could not go back to +2 degrees but I could go back to 0 degrees. So yes the 2 degree advance done at the dealer stuck with the Superchips tune.

he said on another nissan forum that it wipes out the dealer adavance and returns + saves the stock Nissan settings when in "stock" mode on SC. Think about when they developed the programmer they surely designed it based on stock factory settings, not stock plus 2 degrees.
I have the dealer 2° advance and run the Perf tune but there is no way it is in addition to the Perf program. I could be wrong about all this, so by no means is this the final word.

*paging Scott at Superchips*

Maybe I had a rare 13* stock tune? I know some Titans had them. But I definitely tuned my truck down 2* to 0 on the 91 Performance tune.
