Tuning software overload

Boils down to Uprev, which has been around and reliably tuning 370z's for years, or ECUtek, which just came out with 370z software and claims to be better than Uprev, but with no objective proof, and half the promised features "coming soon"

Not really; it boils down to the old standby, or the new technology. Yes Ecutek does not have all of the features right this minute, but for those of us who have tuned with both platforms, there is really no question.

You can get exactly the same results from both suites, but the getting it done is far easier, and more repeatable with EcuTek.

I've seen plenty of 370z's tuned well with Uprev.. not sure how ecutek is more "repeatable"

Have you used ecutek's suite? Used Uprev? Its would be very difficult to explain the difference if you have not, and not required if you had.

Like I said, you can do the same with both software platforms, its just much much easier with Ecutek

I have not used ECUtek yet as I see no reason to spend thousands of dollars for a new, unproven system that does essentially the same thing as Uprev.. but with key features still "under development". I do have plenty of experience tuning with Uprev however and I do not see whats so hard about it.

No, the "key" features are the tuning tables. Map switching is sexy yes, but not a "key" feature.

And, no offence, but if you have not tried the two back to back, you have zero frame of reference. And as far as "unproven". But again, to each his own

Either software can pull the same power out of a n/a car you guys are still "unproven" in the FI dept,I haven't seen 1 dyno sheet from you guys plus I tuned my own FI car by myself and it has more power than any SC kit on the fourm so I would'nt say Uprev is hard to use.

So since it is easier for the "tuner" to "tune", then I am assuming that price per tune is cheaper since it "shouldn't take as long, being that it is easier and easily repeatable"?

You'd think eh?
