While the official line from BSR is that they do not recommend any modifications with the PPC, one has to first understand why they have this position. It is impossible for BSR to certify that the product will provide quality results regardless of the equipment combinations randomly attempted by users of their product. They cannot in any way police the literally hundreds (if not thousands!) of possible combos.

Hahn RaceCraft has had the privilege to work much more closely with PPC and mods than even BSR has. Additionally, the more industrious among our customers have striven to better understand just how far they can go with PPC, and they've been successful! Basic airflow mods are compatible, such as well-designed intakes (not including those of a smaller-than-stock 2.75" diameter!) and exhausts. We'll gladly counsel with any of our PPC customers as to what works. Contact us!

Can the PPC be assigned to another car? No, it is married to the VIN. This is a characteristic of all handheld tuners, whether from BSR, Diablo, SCT or others. The reason is easy to understand....if not for this exclusive assignment to one car, once a certain number of tuners was in the field, sales would dry up as the units are transferred from car to car to car indefinitely. It seems harsh, but it's necessary for the business model to be viable.

As a point of comparison, one must consider...buying a tune from another provider is also for that car only, and not transferable to other cars. The only exception is the purchase of specific licensing from certain software providers that allow unlimited vehicles to be flashed for a one time charge...but only for a specific model and year. These licenses also are not inexpensive, and require technical knowledge of the software to implement...not really comparable to PPC.
Can you sell the BSR tune with handheld PPC if you swap ECMs and have the same model year vehicle?
