seems to me like hes a very talented man, and a great guy to have work on your car.
but as far as i've seen he doesnt do any real custom tuning - i've been led to believe most of his 'tunes' are GIAC MT or lemmiwinks settings. While it does take a lot of ability to get a car tweaked properly, the whole 'moss sauce' name sounds to me like hes building a true custom tune for each individual car - and from what i know that isnt the case.
CLIFFS NOTES: the guy does a good job, but 'moss sauce' seems to me like its touted as more than it really is.

I think people dispute the dyno itself moreso than whether or not your/Diego's car was powerful..
Wasn't that dyno "happier" than the one used for the GT25 car? I forget the dyno hierarchy.
Either way I don't know what to believe about that car since I haven't seen anything about it besides that one dyno plot.

Think for a second guys. Swift is in CO, probably at some crazy elevation. The correction factors

Didn't we already go through this with K04Madness like 3 years ago? The CF's get all wacky when you're talking about boosted cars.

Yep, Chris knows the deal. Key point: SAE correction does *not* apply to turbocharged engines.
Since the boost control circuit will compensate considerably, but not fully, to the altitude change.

Follow the bread crumbs and you'll see how altitude plays into his power output....
This has been debated before regarding Swift's car.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1794841.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1794841.phtml</a></li></ul>
