Also I have only tracked once and it was leguna seca and I never felt like the car vdc was interfering but in still new however I never experienced the whole "ice mode" thing and hope to never experience it. Does the ecutek fix that?

The way it's set up from Seb, VDC-off is RaceRom-on, so it's independent of the map selection. My car is set up with modes for stock, all-features-enabled, and valet mode (RPM restricted). Laguna Seca is pretty easy on the Z. VDC might kick in on T9 and T11, but it's been so long since I've run it with VDC on, it's hard to remember. In fact, fuel starvation isn't a big deal at Laguna either, whereas on every other track in California, it's a nightmare...

Cool so yours was done by Seb. Feeling a lot better now and excited to see the results. Love the car how it is so be interesting to see what I've been missing. I just ordered with off the shelf tune for now and will have it tuned on dyno when I'm down in SoCal for vacation. Seb explained the VDC off= the race rom but I was under the impression the race rom was preset? Now it's sounding like with VDC off I get to select 0-100 using the oil temp? Guess I'll see when I get it Wednesday. If I have to set it you think 50% is a good start?

I am also curious about the ecutek scan tool capabilities. I have seen screen shots with hvac and BCM module etc listed in the menu. Is this thing a full scale scan tool and can retrieve all codes? Any live data or bi directional controls? If so for 650.00 that is an insane deal as a launch scan tool will easily cost 1-3k depending on features.

Thanks all

50% is a good start. You can change it on the fly, so feel free to experiment. You can pull DTCs using EcuTek, which I have done. I don't know if it has any live data capability, as I typically use Kiwi3/HLT for that.
