I have to say the tuning they do is the BEST in the business! You can trust and get the support you need with your custom tune.

The stratified auto guys are top notch. My tuner Mike was the greatest. He was quick to respond and very patient when I wasn't. If you drive a MazdaSpeed it's definitely worth the price of the tune

Best $250 I've ever spent on the car. Not only did the end result meet my goals and expectations of the tune, but Mike, my tuner, was right on the dime with responding to my logs and comments extremely fast. I never had to wait on him. Moreover, he was patient and provided many options while I was having trouble sourcing quality gas in my area. Cheap, fun, safe, and FAST. What else could you ask for.

All I can say is Mike Neary is the man! Mike made tuning easy. Every map I received I could feel the increase in power. If you want a ridiculous increase in power purchase a custom tune you wont be disappointed.

With my recent new tune, I am very happy with the feel of my car and the service I received. With each tune, Alex brings many years of experience hes gained developing the platform. His active engagement in the forums ensures the latest developments are applied. The company (from what I can tell) supports multiple car platforms through tuning and hard parts with limited man power, but still manages to deliver personalized service that comes across as genuine interest for you to achieve your goals. For the amount they charge for what you get, going Stratified is a no-brainer.

I have been working with Mike from Stratified since late Feburary on 2 different tunes. The first tune was a 91 octane custom tune, the second an e-85 tune. Let me begin with my mod list, cxracing fmic, autotech hpfp internals, UR turbo back catless exhaust, CS SRI, NGK 1 step colder plugs, Cobb AP V2, Synapsis BPV and JBR RMM.

My car always felt fast but was never really smooth, always felt "Raw." Mike changed that immediately. The idle improved and the power delivery was more consistent. Through the process Mike took my car from a beast from 3000-5000 rpms to a freight train that just keeps pulling. It never seems to falter, constantly pulling all the way to redline. Torque is abundant and willing the break the tires loose, my sticky Michelin PSS, in 1-3 gears.

What is so great about what Mike did was how much smoother he made the car all around. Before,if not driven perfectly it was like being in a rodeo, now the throttle in more forgiving and less temperamental. During the process we had 2 issues come up, a boost leak and somewhat of a misfire. The first, Mike noticed something in one of the logs and immediately diagnosed the problem, leaking bpv. He suggested the Synapsis BPV and arranged it getting sent through Stratified at a great price. Problem, solved. The second issue occurred during a trip. I told Mike the symptoms and sent him a log, boom suggested I pull the plugs and inspect. Problem solved, drove through rain storm water made it past cylinder 1 coil. Problem solved.

While the tune was great and worth the $ alone, the knowledge Mike passed on was worth even more. I don't frequent the forums often, there is ALOT of bad info on there, so it was refreshing being able to get a straight forward, correct answer. He gave advice on future mods, helped correct drive-ability issues, and explained what I should look for in the future to monitor my vehicle performance. He would make changes to the maps and requests logs. I would send the logs back and with in a day or so, sometimes a few hours he would have the new map sent and the process would continue.

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and will be continuing my tuning experience with meth and a BT, via Mike.
