Quiet Moments.....with Jim Conforti - Addressal of the 4k Power Dip

I think it is applicable to any tune. He was very exacting and descriptive in his explanation of the beautiful blue and quality of flame at the spark. I don't think cheap gas saves you enough to justify it imo.

Thanks Dane. Just needed another excuse to switch back to Shell .

My pathetic Mazda 3 can keep drinking discounted Kroger fuel without complaining

And BTW... Not flame at the "spark". Flame in the combustion chamber/cylinders.

Interesting information...I'm not sure its worth the DME flash.

My car has 55k miles and has the 4-5k rpm dip. After reading this, it might be best to just wait until the DISA valve needs replacing and hoping that it rectifies the problem. I'm not worried about the cost of the flash, but more so the longevity of the motor and messing with knock adaptations.
