(Track tested lap times and acceleration data).
Extreme imo. Diablo. Sct. Hypertech provide those tunes for free when you buy there hardware. Oooohhh... I have a cold air kit and exhaust. Better get a 'custom' 900 $ mail order tune lol.
I would encourage people to talk with their cash. Brzedit has the best model at the moment....especially for tuners. I know AEM chose BRZedit and I heard k&n is as well.
It works awesome and for what... $700 you can tune it yourself have a better logger. ...and the support and user base is growing.
Im sure the mail order guys will start supporting you too, there are probably quite a few that will send tunes to you already.

I dont think support is growing as fast as you think !
I sell 5 ProECU Kit's a week for the BRZ.. (on a slow week)
No tuner with half a brain is going to pickup BRZEDIT and think their going to be successful in a market FULL of EcuTek.
What happens when you want to go forced induction and need stuff like, geez i dont know.. maybe a boost cut.. or a way to control a boost controller via the ecu..
oh you have flat foot shifting and launch control.. sweet.
Does it add fuel enrichment and retard the ignition timing?
Is the Launch Control adjustable on-the-fly?
Does your software have a built-in ECU-Recovery Tool for when the ecu is bricked? (different from recovering from failed flashes btw)
Can you disable the immobilizer ? - you know for racecars and such
Hows your traction control work?
the list can go on
It's so funny how you jump on the EcuTek hate train but are soo quick to forget that your BRZEDIT also gets licensed to one car and can't be resold !
