I'm not sure who these supporters are that you speak of. All I see are the tuners (no surprise they're supportive), some people who are excited about the potential of this software, and some people complaining about the lack of results from a beta software
Business requires customers just as much as proven results - which came first, the chicken or the egg? I can't blame the manufacturer's and tuner's attempts to hype up the software because they probably need it. You can't get results without customers, and you can't get customers without results. The car community needs to step up to help get those results out there. I know my tune isn't the best benchmark for many of you (especially the FI crowd), but I did it because I had the opportunity and in the hopes that it can benefit the entire community
I'm not strictly supporting EcuTek at this time, except to say that I am very happy with the initial tune as well as my experience with my tuner. I have zero experience with UpRev, and the results of my initial tune appears to be very comparable to an UpRev tune. However, when they finally release some of the other features (like TCS control) and have more development and data on current features (like VVEL), I predict it will be a no-brainer as to which tune is the best option for the Z. But only time will tell.
Am I an EcuTek homer? Not at all. Am I excited about the potential for the software? You bet. Am I irritated at the impatience many of you are demonstrating? Maybe a little, but I definitely understand it to a certain degree. I guess I just feel that if you are awaiting results before you make your decision, then you should just sit back and wait for results rather than complaining about the lack of them - or jump in yourself and see what EcuTek can do for you. Again, just my
