The thing is, until someone does a back to back comparison with the same tuner on the same dyno, it's going to be difficult to say for 100% sure if any tuning solution is truly superior to any other solution FOR THE END USER.
There will always be differences for the tuner themselves, which one is easier to use for them, easier to license, easier to make incremental changes and track those changes, etc. But for the guy driving the car, it will take proven dyno results one way or the other for there to be a truly "better" product. So try and wrap your head around that and look at it not as "which tuning software is 'better'" because it's just a means to an end. Asking people that have Uprev on their cars what their experience has been like is going to get you a lot of "It's been great!" and "My car drives lots better and makes more power". Ask people with ECU Tek the same thing, they're going to give you the same answers. |

Personally, I think you should waste your money on a canned tune that matches your user name

lol I didn't take it personally... it's the internet I simply responded to your post in which you stated I didn't have personal experience with EcuTek. If you had read any of the many EcuTek threads, you will find plenty of people asking for exactly the same thing you are: results and dyno graphs. Like I said, they're slowly trickling in because the software is so new. UpRev has a lot more history, so if you're basing your decision off other people's experiences and dyno charts, that's going to be the software with the most information.

Well I'm not quite sure how to answer this as I don't know specifically what your asking? I was running rich before my tune and the tune was able to get my afr to where it needed to be with the parts I had as well as smoothing out a few dips in the power band. The reason I have two is b/c the timing has to be retarded for when I am spraying which is my track application and occasional spirited driving along with other variables when adding nitrous through the motor. I just didn't want the cruise control factor to be the reason for not going uprev. In reality either software you pick, it will come down to the guy tuning your vehicle. The first time I had it done, it was a bust and I got ripped off. Second time was better but not where it needed to be b/c of lack of experience. Take it to a reputable shop, not just any shop but one that deals with our specific car. When my build is done my car is going to GA home of Z1 which I am excited about. Just remember going all N/a will only get you so far as there is still much to be found in cracking this motor.

Some of the other items that can be tweaked through Uprev (and Ecutek I would assume, but there's no telling which features are available yet) are the throttle maps and fan control. You want these, trust me.

Both of these are currently available in EcuTek. Tweaking the throttle maps was by far the most noticeable result of my tune: much better throttle response. I know fan control is in there, but I'm going to educate myself a little more before I talk to my tuner about adjusting it.
