Seems very costly for what is basically an EEPROM programmer for your ECU.... especially if they are only allowing you to program a single vehicle with it.

Other than that what are the differences between these two systems?
Both our system and Cobbs system are license based. They use the handheld to bind the license to your ECU, we use the Cipher cable. With our system though you don't need to buy Cipher or a handheld device at an additional expense.

Osiris is $400USD retail, and can be tuned by any of our listed Pro Tuners for their fee. Cobb is $700USD retail and can be tuned only buy the resellers that have bought the licensing to do so.

Our system is not yet available for consumers on the 370Z, we're still updating interface software and doing more testing. We're already able to tune the G37 (first system to market from GT Motorsports available via their turbo kits) but we haven't released the full tuning version of the software to Pro Tuners or customers yet because we're still adding features and doing testing.

We will announce it on the forums and our website when Pro Tuners will have access to the software. We'd rather be the best software than the first commercially available software.
