I see the Stock Tune under My Maps. How do I get a tune (OTS map) to flash on my car?
Go to the OTS Maps screen and click on the OTS Map you'd like to flash on your car and proceed with flashing. You can choose any of the OTS Maps available.
Any DYNO numbers or results?

Can I run E85 or meth and do you have OTS maps for these?
Yes. We have E30 (30% ethanol) blend OTS maps available. Full E85 maps are custom and can be done with any of the tuners listed in our tuner directory.
Do you offer backend flashes to run with a JB4 if I use it for methanol injection or secondary port injection?
Our OTS Stage 1 and Stage 2 maps are great backend flashes as they raise load and torque targets far higher than stock allowing the DME and TCU to run as close to actual values as possible. 1 map is included with your license purchase, and you can use it as your BEF.
How do I datalog?
Using the bootmod3 mobile app and agent running in the car while connected to the bootmod3 servers (cloud).
Do I need to always have a laptop with me in the car to run the agent? Do I need the device always plugged in?
No. Agent that runs on a laptop or hardware WIFI device is only required to be used if using the bootmod3 app features. Otherwise, no need for anything to be plugged into the OBDII port.
What's the difference between bootmod3 and JB4?
bootmod3 reprograms the vehicle's factory engine control unit (DME) and in some cases other ECUs such as the transmission control unit (EGS/TCU). JB4 is a boost controller with ability to run a methanol pump or secondary fuel injectors, features not available to the DME at this time. TorqByte is another alternative as a meth controller, much more advanced and with finer control from the tuning point of view.
Can I tune my own car with bootmod3?
Yes! You can go into the Stock Tune and do 'Save As' another map so your stock tune stays in tact and you can start tuning it yourself or with your preferred tuner/shop.
