Tune degradation????

Perhaps you misread the questions; it is not about relearning or reverting back to stock. Some parameters within the ECU have a range of options, and the code is configured to adapt to the one that fits best in situations. For example: it is possible that someone who sets their transmission shifts to be hard and fast, but babies their car to have that setting slowly change to a softer shift point figure within the parameters of the ECU. Or a car knowing which type of gas you put in the tank, and adjusting the KR accordingly. The point is, the options are not hard fast and static.
While I have not heard of this happening to a car, in theory it is possible.
Why dont we trying sticking with the topic and keep the discussion factual and grounded,so basically I dont know why you see the need to trump,mention constantly in almost all your posts the negatives of a 3-bar,i try hard to to keep my conversations friendly and factual.and i let people believe what they want to believe,no good will be done here by me proving your misinformed.ajpturbo said:
I have a 3 bar. No worries. Most people's insight in tuning on this forum is horrible. I can tell you what's actually in the tables in the tune. Most people here don't know what an MTF is or have the software to open it. So you won't be able to prove me wrong on much in that department. The adaptive is limited to what is defined in the tables.
I guess some of us just like the simplicity if canned tunes as oppose to datalogging,and hopefully your PCM incorporates for all of the calibration constant tables,and not below the value read by the converter,so essentially if you have time on your hands and benefits you,best of luck,also did not see you had a 3-bar based on your sig or avatar.
So it looks like we can agree that if you're going to the track to try and post the best time you can, that there is some tune degradation. It's not re-writing the tune or anything like that. It's just "smoothing" itself out learning the driving habits. Well, unless your doing 1/4 mile pulls everyday. Then you should be ok.

I thought the 18-20 psi in my sig gave away my having a 3 bar sensor installed.
I get your points, but I get flamed up because I've seen quite a few threads mentioning the idea of a tune losing it's punch. If you are talking .15 second swings in a 1/4 that's not a lot. If your car is showing 9 second 0-60 runs with torque then you have a problem and it's not the tune. I've never used those apps so I can't speak to them.
I'll have to re read the original post but I thought the OP said something about having tranny problems and the car "not running at all" then was asking about degrading tune.
The way I see people here talk about tunes, to me it sounds like they think the flash process is like an upgrade or a type of mod that just modifies how the car runs and it sounds like they don't understand it's a complete re-write of the ROM.
Carry on sorry for the confusion
