First off you guys do understand Japan product come with a premium. Not because they are superior generally speaking, but because they have such limited market there. Ohio has more cars on the road than Japan does. People in my income bracket don't own cars there, it would be impossible to afford. So the people that own cars there have generally speaking larger than average incomes. The market is very small, and they import most materials, so the products made are usually very very low production runs, under 100 units. So they have to charge higher than normal prices to remain profitable.

It is highly unlikely that they designed the software to tune the ECU. I would hazard to guess they are using the Techtom software like Technosquare, AAM, etc use and are just making a base tune using that software.
