Some people will buy the Osiris Tuner so they can adjust their car, but they will have a Pro Tuner set up the original tune on it. That way they can adjust their car for different tracks etc. They have the software available in the event something happens also. We have a tone of SCCA and NASA teams that use our software, and if a motor dies between events and they need to replace it, they will need to adjust that tune. Sometimes they don't have time to get a full new dyno tune between events, and we're their saving grace.

Other customers just want their car to run right, they don't care about having Cipher for data logging or diagnostics. They can go to a Pro Tuner, buy an Osiris License and a tune and be done. By far the cheapest solution on the market for that customer.

Also our system is upgradeable. Start with the Osiris License and a tune because thats what your budget allows, then add the Cipher at a later date. You can upgrade to Osiris Tuner even if you'd like.
I don't want to totally highjack this thread, but want to take the talk about the posabilities of the stock ecu with Uprev.

Uprev sounds a lot like DSMLink from when I when I had my GSXes. It turns the stock ECU into a kind of 'standalone' unit, allowing you to monitor everything and alter a lot of things that the ECU can.

Uprev apparently can handle forced induction, but I'm wondering about overwriting the tables for a VK50 swap. Any input on whether your software would allow the stock VQ37 tables to be overwritten to allow someone to maintain the stock ECU with a modified wiring harness? The other option is to use the VK50 ECU for the engine and VQ37 ECU for the chasis, or try and modify the chasis harness to work with the FX50 ECU, either of which is acceptable, but not ideal. I'm also looking at a 'full standalone' option.
