Seems they actually relax the timing for 91 octane so it isn't knocking and pulling too much back out like Oem that is based on 93 octane. So that's comforting. They do tweak the vvel but I am not sure what they do to it. Waiting to hear from Rob e-mail and then decide if I go with specialty z off the shelf tune and then have it dyno tuned there in August or what Rob does on the ecutek tuning and maybe stay local.

Right now it sounds like Seb has a pretty nice deal since they have worked the traction control and everything in their MAP with ecutek. Looking like I can have a stock tune, a true tune with traction control tweak (so off = the tuned traction control like a GTR R mode), and also a tune with traction off=off so you can be stupid. Also buying the license and cable gives me access to trouble codes and data so it's like a scan tool as a bonus which I will use at some point I know (master tech for the last 11 years but left the industry this last year and now no scan tool access).
EcuTek RaceRom is a night and day difference compared to the stock VDC. The more aggressive throttle response is huge as well -- probably the biggest single difference I noticed. I made good power gains with Seb's tune on the stock engine:
