That's your decision but I would consider it incredibly short-sighted to exclude a manufacturer's product from consideration based on the attitude of a single retailer who happens to stock that product.

This is also my thought. I'm definitely still interested in what ECUTek can offer me, but definitely not from this guy posting in this thread.

That being said the kind of responses from simple question this guy gives trying to "promote" this product is ridiculous. Could u imagine the kind of help you'd get if u need trouble shooting with ur software or tune if this is the kind of response ur getting from simple questions? Apparently they're doin very well without this community which seems to give him some kind of "don't care here it is attitude".

Squeeze is very well respected around here and his Z is a built monster. His input goes a long ways. But he won't be tuning your car neither.

The way you treat potential customers goes a long ways. I'm happy with my boosted Uprev numbers and the service I get from them also. Better or not better, he has made my personal choice very easy to stick with what I'm running with.

I met with Jon Visconti about a month ago before the EcuTek software was released. I have also stayed in contacted with him ever since he is a stand up guy.Everything that he explained to me about the software I am very excited about. The key features that are coming I am very excited about and I cant wait tell they all come with the software.

The key features that I am looking forward to are
1. Boost By gear
2.Timing by gear
3.Flex fuel
4. Launch control
5 VVEL

Once all these features coming out it is really going to take tuning on this platform to the next level .

Seeing as there isn't a boost input for the factory ecu there will have to be some sort of adapter/piggyback unit....... I think.

Boost by gear is a method that is used for traction its were you can run your spring pressure in lower gears for traction,and full boost once you get traction. Now in a case where even your spring pressure still lights up the tires timing by gear can be used to pull timing tell you get traction.


This all can be adjusted by tables in the ecu.

I suppose ur right about that also. Still just leaves an overall bad taste about it all. The manufacturer should look at who they give their business too.

Also I'm far ahead of the modding game than you are and every penny and service I get at this point in the game matters very much to me.

LOL.

I won't argue that you've probably spent more dollars than I have at this point, but the cost of labor and parts at the level I'm trying to participate at is getting more and more ridiculous by the minute. I just got a quote for a $1000 radiator and a $5000 roll cage, for example. So yeah, spending another grand+ on new tuning when what I have is already paid for (mostly by someone else) plus losing the ability to edit my own ROM... Yeah, they'll have to show me how bad *** they are, not just promise me it's better.

I've read all of Visconti's posts as i'm trying to follow the Ecutek info as best as possible, and i'm not so sure as to what he did or said was wrong. This is another tuning option. Why is everyone ragging on his case? Uprev works, sure, but who are you to yell at another company that provides us Z owners more options?

We all cry about how we need more market for our car and when that happens, we bag on them.

What he said. I think it's all been misinterpreted, due to it being in text.
