Those shops come and go with the wind and I don't want to pay more money every time a small tuning change is needed. To say nothing of having to trailer the damned car in every time.

If the program was available and can do what you say then I am willing to bet you are going to have a lot of business.

I can only imagine the amount of knowledge you need to possess to be a self tuner, and not having it myself I to you guys.

But as an owner looking to do this on my own, is it even possible? Without the experience/know-how?

I'm definitely not skilled like a tuner at say, UpRev (the shop) or Z1 or GTM are. That said, I can keep an AFR within a desired range, adjust timing as needed, tweak rev or speed limits, adjust cooling fan profiles to suit my needs, hide codes if needed, run logs including tracing them to the tables themselves...

If I can't do any of that, it isn't worth it to me to invest in switching tuning solutions, as UpRev (the software company and shop) has been very, very good to me, so it'll have to be one hell of a compelling product. Without the ability to handle this routine (to me) stuff, it isn't compelling at all..
