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.

not to mention that once you pay that tuner, like him or not, he's your man. you can't even take it to another ecutek 'master' tuner... it's locked to that one individual vendor. great for business.... bad for us.

this should be the automobile to the ecutek's horse and buggy, for sure. there's just no good reason to pay nearly double the price to be locked in to a tune you're not allowed to even look at or verify (or have someone else verify) that anything useful was done to it. it couldn't have come soon enough... i just feel bad for all those shops that coughed up $10k for nothing lol.
