I just purchased a Stage 1 tune for my ZHP this morning which from what I have researched is a much better tune than the Shark tune I had on my Imola ZHP. I am looking forward to getting this set up on my current ZHP as it has many more adjustments to set my car up the way I really want it. Looking forward to running this tune on my car this car season

The reason I went with the Chaos Calibrations tune over the Shark Injector tune I used on my first ZHP:
1. It is an E-Tune. This basically means it is over a Windows compatible computer using their software, a K+DCAN Cable (INPA Cable), and your original DME. This helps eliminate any problem you may have if you use a different DME, like problems starting.
2. Flexibility. If you want to put your original tune back on, it only takes about 5 minutes and you are back rolling. Chaos Calibrations can add custom settings to their tune and send it to you via email, which makes it much easier to flash a new tune to your DME.
3. Support. Chaos is only an email away if you need any help or want to change something. With Shark Injector you have only their "canned tune", nothing more from my experience. Chaos Calibrations also has PDFs with step-by-step instructions on how to do upload/download their tune and other things along with their software.
4. Performance. You have a more customized tune that is more tailored to what you have selected when you ordered, with the Shark Injector, you get one tune and you can not change it, meaning customize any portion of their tune at all, only thing you can do with Shark Injector is to restore your original DME tune.

Once I get this tune installed and have run with it for about a week I will post my thoughts on this as compared to the OE tune from the factory.

It has started . . . . I have downloaded my current DCT list and MS 45.1 ECU factory tune to send out to Chaos Calibrations for my Stage 1 tune
I have secured a reliable battery charger to connect to my battery when I am ready to write in the new tune into my MS 45.1 ECU.
Looking forward to this phase of my ZHP's life. I'm curious to see how this tune compares to the Shark Injector tune I ran in my last ZHP . . .
Nice to see zero faults in my ECU after all the work I have put into this daily driver
It looks like I'm off to a good start into my 2024 car season
