Tuning Actually Reliable?

Looking into doing a Stage 1 ECU Tune Either N75 , SXTH, LAP3 .Just wanted to touch base and see what’s the typical issue you see if any. Mainly looking to add some extra kick to my Daily but not make it unreliable.

I put a JB4 on my N sometime in early 2020 shortly after I bought it new. Drove with it for a year or so and about 15-20K miles? Mostly on map 2 and a month on map 3 with E30. Then upgraded to SXTH Hight Torque ECU tune. Have 30k miles on the car now and have not had any issues with reliability. Knock on wood!

I love it. I feel like the JB4 probably produced more peak HP, but it was all right at the top of the RPM range and constantly had me bouncing off the rev limiter. It was also unpredictable as to when/how much you were going to get. The ECU tune is like factory, only with a ton more HP and torque. I have not had any opportunities to drag race anyone, however on the race track I have passed just about everything but the M3. View attachment 12106
