the term "better" is subjective to the end user and the person doing the tuning. if timing control is the main reason you say it's better they both do just as good of a job with ignition advance. How good of a job a tuner does with the software is entirely up to the person behind the computer.
They currently both offer Launch Control & Flat Foot Shifting. only thing that currently puts ECUTek over UpRev feature wise is the flex fuel and boost control. I wouldn't say "ignition control" makes it better, specially if you are N/A.

While I won't say it gives "far more" control over timing, it's is much easier to do the timing tables in ECUTek.
But, in the end, it's on who is using the tools to make the effective. I'm still learning both of them.

^^^ finally someone that is honest.
I find controlling timing with UpRev and ECUTek to be just as easy to use and just as reliable for the N/A Crowd.
if you are boosted then ECUTek makes sense, ONLY if you go to the right tuner that uses the custom tables to maximize efficiency for the customer. (I'm not talking about just the timing table but the other custom tables that Pro-Tuners can make) while I've seen cars roll in here with ECUTek and Zero safety features. some lean as far as 13.8:1 AFR at wot with boost & zero safety features made to prevent the customer from melting the engine. others that have very good safety built in that allowed our tech to fix the issue before customer had a nuclear meltdown. Not being able to tune the car in real time is a huge bummer for ECUTEK, that feature would save us a ton of time.
