What updates? Care to elaborate?
They released a new 'stage 1.1' tune and a multilevel tune for full PRL boltons, likely also made by DRob. They also added misfire counts per cylinder on the update before that.

Any more power in that 1.1 tune?

These tunes have been in testing for quite some time. We do have additional dyno sheets comparing a vehicle with PRL Bolt-ons with stage 1 vs the PRL Bolt-on tune. They'll be posted to the site shortly.

There is. For a "stock" vehicle this tune takes it a little further than the stage 1.

That is awesome, I feel like I know the answer to this but would there be any problem with running the PRL Bolt on tune, if some of your bolt ons aren't PRL? As an example I'm currently running PRL intake, Perrin IC, and an RV6 catless DP. I imagine the intake is the biggest variable that has differences between the PRL offering vs the competition.

Intakes aren't tuned for at all, actually.

For MAF cars that aren't tuned on speed density it is a number one reason for needing a tune. Take the RACE MAF version of the cobra for the Civic Si, and running 3.5 inch intakes on the 9th gen Civic Si. The point of my question was whether that map could be ran on a car where some of the bolt ons might not be PRL, pointing out that intake might be the part that can have the most difference from manufacturer to manufacturer. Most 3 inch downpipe/frontpipes are going to be pretty much the same and Intercoolers will be slightly different sized but overall the performance is similar between them all. I would assume that running the PRL bolt on tune won't be a problem if you have similar parts, except for the intake where some of them are known to run poorly (injen for example).

That is comparable, so you should be ok!

does the stage 1.1 work with PRL bolt ons?
Use the PRL Bolt-On Tune for PRL Bolt-Ons. Stage 1.1 is designed more for a factory vehicle, like the stage 1.

What I meant to say is the intakes we currently have available for the R aren't tuned for at all, except maybe the Eventuri. I was partially answering your question by saying there isn't a difference there currently. The Injen intake runs so poorly because it sucks in hot engine bay air, not because it fucks with airflow. We don't have a race MAF yet.

power in midrange is a way better on the 1.1 map dont hope a big bump in whp but trotle response in 2-3 gears city driving will give a smile for sure,ive looked/studyed those tunes few hours yesterday and nice update

Also can't wait for warmer weather to update to test out the 1.1 as well. @KTuner for the PRL map is it only for a catless downpipe or high flow cat work as well? Maybe put in the description if there is a difference.

Sidenote I have RV6 myself but assume they are pretty much the same for downnpipe and frontpipe
