To be fair, I don't think it's the Ecutek tuners doing anything more than passing along the dates Ecutek expects to have features ready. They're not the ones writing the program. I wouldn't have made the "fanboys" comment if I were a vendor, though. It just looks petty.

I've been waiting for several features to be available for quite some time now, but since we've gone from "any day now" to "sometime this year", I've got to look elsewhere for my tuning solution. That's not to say I won't entertain Ecutek again when it meets my needs.

In the scheme of things, "fanboy" isn't that bad. Visconti would have called his mother a whore and set his car on fire.

I agree, I know it's not Dynotronic's fault they haven't been released.. but it seems everything is being 'fluffed up' to make Ecutek sound superior.. When there's no proof it is for one, and two, all these trick features that were supposed to be out MONTHS ago keep getting pushed back and it makes me doubt they'll EVER become available.

I've been waiting for all the features to become unlocked too.. and if eventually they do, I'll be impressed and I'll entertain the idea of an Ecutek tune but for now it just seems like another vendor trying to pump cash out of forum members.

All I can tell you is this; we have at least three different ways to calibrate the 370, uprev, EcuTek, and AlienTech, in house. As a professional tuner I will not use uprev again, ever. It really is that simple. The support we get from the crew in England 5000 miles away far our strips the lack of support I get from uprev which is 40 miles away.

We are waiting ,just like you guys, for the release of RACEROM Feature File. I know a bit more about the release timeframe, but I will not say when except before the end of the year. But infact it really does not matter when it's released, because EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER WILL GET AN UPDATE WITH THE FEATURES THEY WANT when it is released.

And yes, the fanboy comment was a bit childish, but it does get a little old, and his is my thread for a group buy. So forgive the snap, please

I think everyone is looking for the VVEL TWEAKS but I thought someone had done this already . An as much as I want to go with something "new" ECUTEK why an I still flopping back and forth with UPREV. An Joe will you just not use UPREV again because the lack of support or is ECUTEK just that far superior to UPREV ?

that's a fair question; as far as I am concerned it that ecutek has, offered far more, and much deeper customer service. Couple that with the simple fact we have twice the maps to work with( ok, we are still developing WHAT some of them do), and its sort of a no brainer.

The other thing that has always bugged me with Uprev is that the numbers in the tables, in many cases, have no relationship to anything.

Please do not take this as me running it down, but you asked, and that's my opinion

Just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in. I'm also looking forward to all of the different features that ECUtek has promised down the line though I may not be in as big a rush as others.

Software aside, I'd like to second all the comments regarding Joe's customer service. He really makes himself available, even to someone hundreds of miles away like me. I get an answer every time I call him on the phone and I can always tell I'm probably pulling him away from something more important because he's either got a car on the dyno or he's slightly panicked at the time (The type of panic that a looming deadline tends to induce.) Whatever your situation is he is quick to respond and infinitely patient. Bottom line is that he makes time for you and keeps you coming back. I'm completely confident that Joe's the type of person that gives the same amount of attention and care to cars regardless of price (in terms of a $90k car vs a $30k car).

No Thanx Joe , that's what I was looking for . Ill be candid I was on the PayPal page last night ( link here) to he the loaner cable an software , filled everything in an just stopped . Not sure why, maybe it's because I was tuned with UPREV before , and the $$ for me to change is significant ? From what I have heard and the convos we've had your service had been great , just hard for me to pull the trigger sorry . :/
