What vendors supply these BRZedit tunes with updates for life? If they're not advertising it as a service... That seems odd to me. For one I didn't know a vendor-provided option existed until now, and still don't have any fact on who to go to, result graphs, etc. You claim it's superiority to EcuTEK, but if so, why hide it, where are concrete numbers, etc? You insinuate EcuTEK's business model is shady, yet I find the lack of overt information more suspect and off-putting. I'd have considered BRZedit as a feasible option had I known vendors were providing for it. Just an observation here.



On this front... My car on 93 octane does not run the same as a car with the same mods on 93 in Milwaukee an hour away from here. Both 93 octane, same car, same mods. Reformulated gas in Milwaukee county requires a different tune to run optimally, even though it has the same octane level we do. Sure it could adapt, but most of us don't pay for "close enough."
This isnt 1989 anyomore, and the entire rom size that runs the car isn't 4kb like a TBI Chevy was. Crappy gas is crappy gas and the same tune TODAY can be made to run as good as possible on crap gas versus 'good' gas.
