We are trying to keep this to qualified shops. No I'm not being snobbish, but you wouldn't take your baby to just anyone would you? We would prefer to work with established shops, with qualified tuners for two reasons; to protect the integrity of the product, and to expand the knowledge base on this platform.

Let me explain that a bit better;

First, as a Master tuner, I am answerable to not only you, as the end customer, but to EcuTek as well. So if we hand out the software to JimBob down at the gas station and he proceeds to talk someone into a tune, and melts a piston or two, guess who gets the call from the pissed customer?

Second, and I know this might be a shock to hear a tuner admit this, but we don't know everything there is to know about this platform. There are guys out there with a deeper knowledge of the 370, and that's the truth. I'm damn good at what I do, that's why I'm one of a very select group of "master" tuners, but the simple fact is I learn something new EVERY day. We like to work with shops that we can learn from, and in turn they learn from us. This is what I mean when I refer to expanding the knowledge base

I you happen to have a shop in mind, let me know, I'm happy to work with any qualified shop in the world. We could talk to them directly, and show them the software. Hell you might even get a free calibration from them for bringing it to their attention!
Oh, I'm completely ok with not letting everybody with a lift and a set of tools become a "tuner".

Rather than type out a novel here, I'll just get to the point. I'm looking for a total drive-out cost to come to your shop, dyno tune it, touch it up on the street and go home with the cable. I'll be scheduling it right after I see that Ecutek has added the boost control functionality to the software.
