1. If Vishnu makes a tune for 93 how will this be different from an ECUTEK tuner making a tune for 93? (assuming you are comparing it to a good tune)

2. If I have no idea how to read a tune, or interpret the data, what good is an open tune for me?

3. Is this product good because I can take it to a reputable tuning shop and have them tune the car without the need to be a dealer of the Tablet?

4. I think that we can all agree that getting a tune on the dyno is the best way to go about it. I like the idea of taking a really good tune for a stock car, and uploading it, then later when I add a full exhaust just taking someone else's solid tune (who has the same mods as me) and loading it to improve the benefit of my add-ons.

But in the end wouldn't I rather just get another dyno tune once I add a bunch of mods?

1. With proper tuning both Vishnu and EcuTek tune should be similar +/- 2 whp and wtq - BUT keep in mind, OpenFlash Tablet tune file is transparent where as EcuTek tune is not. Hence, a bad EcuTek Tuner can hoax you with a fake tune just like what happened to me
2. Post tune file data on the forum, there are enough knowledgeable OPs here to help you interpret, this is the beauty of open source, no tuner can Mickey mouse you.
3. Absolutely yes, anyone can contribute to creating tune file without requirement of a tune license. All you need is the OpenFlash Tablet to DL the tune file from PC to flash into your ECU. All tune files will be available thru website for DL at no additional cost. And all cables are included at no additional cost as well!!
4. Yes Custom Dyno Tuning is the best way to go if you already have EcuTek, but cost a leg and arm. Vishnu Tuning has done most of the hard work for OpenFlash Tablet end-users with proven dynoed tune files at a economical cost.

ecutek and openflash are just the means of flashing the ECU with the tune file
Now my question is what else can they do? Lauchcontrol, 2step, nolift shift? like other tuners with ecutek offer can openflash do the same?

Yes, Vishnu Tuning will provide all those features plus much more, I will have to leave it to Rombinhood to explain.

The difference seems to be that I should be able to take the OFT system and tune to a tuner of my choice, whereas with ECUTEK I have to find a licensed dealer, and I might not even like that dealer.

Along with the price difference this seems like a large benefit.

Absolutely yes, now we end-users are in control :happy0180:

Yes, and I had to learned the hard way losing $850 for a trash tune, I almost fork out another $750 for a local EcuTek master tuner to dyno tune, thank God Vishnu Tuning came to rescue me
