Ghost Tune

(noun) – A tuning file that appears identical to others in hex or binary comparison, yet executes differently once flashed to a vehicle’s ECM/TCM. These “ghost” behaviors may include changes in throttle response, torque delivery, shifting patterns, or exhaust sound — despite showing no visible differences in tuning software.

🧠 This phenomenon was first documented by Sterling English in 2025 while using AI-assisted tuning tools like ChatGPT with HP Tuners on a 5.7L HEMI. The anomaly revealed that even byte-for-byte identical tunes could behave drastically differently due to hidden corruption or transfer-layer glitches — something traditional tuners would likely miss without AI analysis.

Tuning In

When you arrive late at a drinking event and quickly need to catch up to everyone else, so you put down about 3-4 drinks in the first ten minutes; often to the concern and horror of other guests.
