I am not even sure where to begin. I have a 2013 foucs st with all the fun goodies, however it was missing something and it was a killer tune! All through the process of dealing with Alex during the tuning stages it was like my car was getting better and better. There was never a oh crap moment where I was concerned that something was wrong with my car/tune. Alex made my car a absolute beast and I could not be happier. I had taken my car to a dyno day shop will remain nameless but they did not allow for any time in between 3 4th gear pulls and my intake temps were literally off the charts and they did not seem to care (maybe it was because it was the first time they saw how a car should be tuned) non the less again no drama car still was safe with how the tune was built. I feel that if you are looking for a top tier tune that if safe and puts the power down better than anything you have ever experienced you need to let the stratified team take care of it. I cant say enough good things about the communication, the updates, and the stellar customer service. I will forever be a Stratified customer and will encourage anyone that owns a car that they tune to go through them. Thank you again!

I HAD THE BEST TIME TUNING WITH ALEX THESE GUYS KNOW THERE SHIT! ANY QUESTION I HAD THEY ANSWERED HE CAME ME SOME SERIOUS POWER GAINS AND I WOULD REC TO EVERYONE WELL WORTH THE MONEY SPENT! THANKS GUYS IM VERY HAPPY WITH THE TURN OUT! I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE SOON!

At first I started off with an OTS+ tune and I was definitely satisfied. About a month after using the OTS+ tune I decided to go with a custom e-Tune, for the added safety and power, since I do not plan on a big turbo for my Focus ST and have all mods completed (aside from a downpipe). The feedback from my tuner (Steven) was fantastic and he was willing to answer any and all questions. The power delivery, drivability, and overall quality of a Stratified OTS+ and custom e-tune are fantastic. Originally, I chose to go with Stratified thanks to a few friends in my local car club and for the amazing article Alex and the team write up on their blog site. Stratified automotive employees are engineers, professionals, car nerds through and through and extremely knowledgeable. I would trust them with any vehicles I own in the future.

Coming from an STI, I had pretty high expectations from a tuner since the person who tuned that car was great. Before deciding on a tuner for my Focus I did a lot of research on the tuners available for this vehicle and settled on Stratified because I read they were very thorough with their tunes and wouldn't leave you hanging. I was not disappointed, I ordered my AP and tune sometime in the middle of June and about 6 iterations and a month and a half later, we were done. We actually went over my allotted time but Alex felt that my tune wasn't complete and requested more logs so that he wouldn't leave me with a half baked tune, so huge props for that.

As for the tune, I put every datalog I took into VirtualDyno to get a good idea on my progress. I'm not too sure on the accuracy of VD, but I used it mostly to quantify my progress. My car started at around 205hp and 280tq to the wheels, according to VD. Each iteration I saw more progress and better drivability. At the end of the tune, I am at 241hp and 330tq and the car pulls like a train all the way to redline. Boost comes on easily and power delivery is very linear and I notice no plateau in the powerband at all. Iv also noticed better MPG over stock, as well. I'm very satisfied with the final revision.

I can't wait until Fall when I'll have more parts and see what else they can get from these little engines.

Alex is probably one of the most knowledgeable tuner out there for our ST platform. He takes his time and really tweaks and perfects every revision for max power safely and efficiently. You will not be dissapointed in a custom tune from this stratified.

The Stratified custom tune process and end result were both terrific. Alex's efforts were always guided by my tuning goals, and it was particularly gratifying to see my parts selection validated by some big numbers, superb drivability, and safety margin as evidenced in all of my datalogs. In my opinion, no one understands and tunes the ST platform better than the Stratified team. Alex's engineering background shines through in his tuning approach and drive to innovate. On top of all that, he is a very nice and comfortable person to work with. I give Alex my highest recommendation, and feel that my Stratified custom tune is a tremendous value given the effort Alex expended to perfect it!
