XHP vs Rod Sutphin

[doggboy]

I am looking at a transmission flash, and heard good things about xHP. I also heard that Rod's custom flash is better, but i cant find any comparisons between the two. Also looking on the xHP site i am trying to figure out what i need to buy. Do i need to buy the license then the flash pack, or does the flash pack include a license?

Thanks in advance gents.

I run xHP. You need to buy the license and then the map pack. Stage 3 is the best by far, I wouldn't even bother with 1 or 2.

Thanks TR, i pulled the trigger on the xHP, i hope it is as good as you say. I guess i will find out tomorrow when i flash it.

Hey TR, which adapter did you use? I tried using my tool for bootmod 3 and it did not connect. I have an enet cable, but there isnt a flash tool for windows apparently. I am not sure if my phone supports a usbC to ethernet adapter, and i would rather not spend 80 bucks on the wifi adapter if i dont have to.

I used my iPhone. For iPhone it's lightning to Ethernet adapter and then plug enet cable into the adapter.

James Powell more an more cars coming up for sale with flaring issues and clutch pack failures. In not sure how much of this is attirbutable to poor servicing, or xHP software taking the box far beyond limits

Chris Ptak, The fact is I tune everything from stock to 700hp on the 6hp series. I have tunes all over the world with a lot of miles on them. I see transmissions in all sorts of wear conditions good and bad. I have refused to sell a tune to people before because I knew the trans was in poor working order and helped the people fix it correctly. There are going to be some issues on transmissions at some point with my tune. But I also back that up with customer support, when to service trans, seal, sleeves, valve body, solenoids, fluid types, filter pan, write ups and videos. I also know my tunes are more so in the US since I am based here. I do my best to make sure the customer is pleased with the tune and support. I know XHP has there share of issues with the very same things. I support XHP with selling 100's of flashing licenses, its really the only flashing platform that makes it easy to enhance your cars performance either by them or my custom tune.

Chris Ptak I so agree with you on the reset of adaptations. That post should be removed, I am now explaining to everyone why it happened and how to ensure it wont happen to them. I have lost count of how many times I have done resets to fix issues.

Rod Sutphin how do you know if a box has issues?

Dave Gamlin You should first ask about any shifting issues and then mileage. You speak with the customer, you ask questions to learn what is causing the issues, but this is inst 100%. But it is very effective.

Rod Sutphin you read adaption values and quick charge times to check condition of a transmission before anything. Reading them values and interpretation is paramount.

I had a car come in last month 325i e91 petrol on 220k. If you had of looked at the adaptions you would of said box was fucked. Had a quick look and valve body block seal had a big crack in it. So changed that and the tubes and it drove like new and af… See more

Matthew Ladds that's the point of reading values, you wouldn't put a tune on it before though. Lot of owners put tune on trying to fix an issue, these boxes rarely throw codes until they are terminal, especially once the clutch packs flare up and adapt… See more

Love Rod Sutphin tune, so good. I was skeptical at first but once I started racing it all made sense why you go with him.

Xhp stage 3 changes really quickly, but doesn't make it a good tune does it? ��
