I already answered that. If you're set on a good local tuner, use what they are comfortable with. As long as they have experience with boosted Z's, then you're good. Ecutek is better, but not so much better that you want to be a guinea pig for someone to learn the software.

I'm a google research geek, and hate spending a damn dime without fully vesting in a topic. I have an upcoming tune and have talked with a number of tuners in the Orlando, Miami, and Tampa area.
One consensus the large majority agree on is with my 7AT, current stage 1 upgrades and planned GTMC38-81 Rotrex, ECUTek would serve me better than an UpRev Osiris tune. They seem to agree that tuning a MT w/ uprev is more comfortable and better results than ECUTek.
I don't have the knowledge or experience base to say why, but I'm guessing there is something to it... or da guvmnt is up ta sumfin!

"4 out of 5 master tuners agree! The fifth was busy with the passenger and the answer was muffled..."
