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.

> “Bro, I flashed the same file again and now it hits like a train.”
“Dude, that’s a ghost tune.”

dibs aren't in tune

To have money. If the dibs are in tune, it means you're flush and can go raise hell etc - conversely, if the dibs aren't in tune, it means you're skint.

Bertie: What ho old chap. Are you coming to tea?
Corky: 'Fraid I can't mate - the dibs aren't in tune this month. I'll have to hit up my Uncle Worple for some cash.

Valley of the Tunes

Jack London, the famed adventure writer from the early 1900's, called the Sonoma Valley in California, his home towards the end of his life. He referred to the valley as the "Valley of the Moon". The clever twist on that phrase, Valley of the Tunes, refers to the vibrant live music scene here.

There is a ton of music this weekend here in the Valley of the Tunes!
