Default Uprev.vs. Ecutek

I've been looking at EcuTek performance in particular on the 7AT platform. The RaceRom they provide looks amazing. A lot more options especially for FI applications.

BTW UPREV and my tuner are awesome something I have wanted to see for over a year and no one else did it so why not me LOL .

I also am on my 3rd Flash already as John and I started this on Saturday turn around time is super and the communications have been very good also .

Some note so far ( 1 day driving)
The car feels good but still only have really one full day of driving including the morning drive to work. A quick "butt" feel is the cars throttle response and part throttle doesn't feel as smooth as UPREV ;/. Part throttle-- there seems to but a little back and feel before the car smooths out ( Nothing crazy) and the throttle response feels a bit delayed( On the UPRV the car really felt VERY close to a drive-by wire) The WOT pulls I have done feel a bit harder but its really hard to say. The shifting feels about the same but the shifts felt a bit firmer with UPREV :/. Not sure we've done anything with the line pressure yet?

I know we are still working through things so I'm sure we will iron these out for sure . I really LOVED that I could see knock and see it was ZERO! I was looking through my logs when I had a few free minuets while working on the house this weekend.

Ask them to address the lack of firmness in your shift? MY Ecutek experience is the same regarding the lack of firmness which is critical on our 7AT platform."

On of the most important issues for the 7AT is the transmission especially when boosted the (Line pressure increase for the 7AT is critical!!!) which prevents the transmission from slipping and increases the firmness of the shifts. One great feature that existed in Uprev was that.

However I would like to gather feedback from those who have bee tuned via ECUTEK and are 7AT (Automatic). How does the firmness and the shifting feel compared to Uprev?
