elperuano - Are you saying that ECUTek should bench mark a Z to show some results? That Would be cool if they did but they shouldn't be obligated.

That's to be expected from any new tuning software, but this is normal. Say "Hey, we're looking to test some software on Z's, for anyone interested, an awesome discount!". And that's all you'd need. But that's not what this thread, and any press we've been given says...


That's exactly what they could do. Have the Same Z done by the Same tuner, on the Same Dyno tuned with Uprev, document the improvements. Then reflash it with ECUTek, and tune again. And document the improvements.

Apples to Apples.

Since you're only talking a software change, it could all be done in a day.

Pay someone to do that and you've solved most all the problems in this thread

If you people think I am trying to convince you to jump ship from UpRev, then you're simply not reading my posts. I can't do anything about that. I understand the results are underwhelming at this point and that more is warranted before you do such a thing. But the fact of the matter is you guys are impatient, and it's very clear that you aren't going to be satisfied until there is a lot more data out there...
No worries sir, not trying to impact your work performance.

No, I don't think you're trying to convince anything. I think you're standing up as a loyal patron who got a really good deal.

I'm completely patient. I'm not rushing anything, I just don't wanna be told something that isn't true, just like anyone else. If you didn't have your tune through them, I would assume you would be just as hesitant to jump on board an unproven software suite. There's nothing wrong with asking for more proven usage and documented improvements. That's something the community as a whole can benefit from.

Well you threw your name into their hat, why didn't you?

Isn't that the point of Marketing as the vendor?

Tune normally runs say $700
Vendor says they'll give you an awesome discount to do it: 50% off

Vendor is essentially paying you $350 to do it. Problem solved.
