Best $500 I spent on accessories/parts for my car was on the OFT. No contest. I purchased mine when Vishnu first release this product. I suppose you can get a tactrix for less and do almost the same thing, but you wont have real time sensor readouts. I'll likely end up getting one of those as well just for data logging. (more channels and better resolution on logs)

Why not sell the OFT and buy the EcuTek BT-EVI? Better logging, better displays that you can customize and possibly even control over your maps if the tuner adds it in. You can't guarantee the OFT for logging/display will work due to the reliance of using certain ROM IDs in the OTS maps.

Basically the long and short of OFT is, it's only better if you don't want a real protune on a dyno. It makes a lot more sense and it's a fair bit cheaper for that kind of person since it offers Stage 1/2 and E85 OTS maps. Nobody will dyno tune you on OFT.

There's also the Android and Torque option for monitoring. I wanted an OEM look so this is where I view most of my vitals.

It was a gift from my wife and I dont like to sell gifts. I also already have a cable run and a custom mount for the OFT in my car for when I actually want to use it as a gauge pack. Thanks for the heads up about the ecutek Bluetooth thing, haven't even looked into it but now it's on my radar.

my FRS ran 14.3 @ 97 (DA corrected) on a OFT e85 tune and a CNT (budget) uel header... still had the spare tire/tools and a toddler seat in the car half a tank of gas and normal street pressure in the tires... less than a thousand dollars worth of mods/ minor effort and the car is significantly quicker than it was in stock form. Thats why OFT is so popular.

Also the OFT is flexible. I can flash a number of different tunes or go back to the stock tune and it only takes 10 minutes. It's easy as you want it to be with OTS tunes, or you can mess with Romrqaider and make it as complex as you like and do your own tune, or get a custom OTS tune from someone like Wayno or a custom E-Tune from Shiv himself.

I have no experience with Ecutek so I don't know what it can and can't do.

What does a stock one do? 14.3 @ 97 is not super slow but it doesnt sound too fast at all. lol

Id wager a stocker would do mid to high 15s if not low 16s in the 1/4 depending on elevation, driver, tire wear etc.

I guess 14.3 @ 97 is a pretty decent improvement. As fast as this supercharged one.

Stock MY13 14.8 @ 93.6

Supercharged with 224 WHP 14.3 @ 98.5

ACtually that's only half true...

Running techstream or ecuedit with tactrix and you can have real time sensor readout...

Only problem with techstream is that for instance, I get a 4 psi map sensor reading at idle N/A because I have an omni 3 bar and afaik you can't rescale the sensor in techstream...

Can you run either of those apps on a tablet or phone to display sensor data like gauges, or do you have to use laptop computer?

One function I found useful is being able to log while sensor data is visible. Can you do this somehow using tactrix with whats available?

I think you can with ECU edit. Both the viewing on the tablet and logging while viewing sensor data. Also, Ecuedit allows for logging and viewing of third party wide bands.

That would be an almost ideal setup.. tablet that does all the things the OFT does with more channels, better resolution (in logs and on screen), simultaneous sensor data display/logging, AND tweak your tune on the same device that's open source.
