So I have a question, how much of that map for Ninjin was based off the OFT available E85 maps?
Remember ECUTek cost is what 650 for a single setup now that you can tune where as Openflash is 495 and I obviously have been able to get them cheaper. Nelsmar knows I don't mind it but each has a different market.
The OFT is also fully tuneable by the end user using Tuner Pro or Rom Raider (I have to say after trying both Rom Raider is my choice personally) allowing you to do most anything you could wanting directly for your vehicle and its modifications, provided you know how.
However ECUTek (650) + Tablet (250) is 900 vs less than 500. So the question becomes are the few features that ECUTek has worth 400 vs the OFT which has added most everything in a matter of a few months that people have requested and continues to? Also the Pro vs Race also has its limits so to get full feature use from ECUTek you need the Race version which is another 300.
I have no doubt the OFT will continue to advance as it already has, so for me paying more for a program that may be slightly nicer is ludicrous esp. when compared to HP Tuners Pro which tunes 5 vehicles and allows signal input and is without doubt one of the best known and setup tuning programs all for 650.... compared to ECUTek which is 650 for 1 vehicle and tuning more than one vehicle with it is another story as is some of the advanced features everyone likes. (Want to tune more with HP Tuners it is 49.99 a credit for Ford, GM or Dodge multiple platform support and multivehicle support even with the non-pro version)
I personally dislike ECUTek for that reason alone. I work with other platforms and ECUTek by far takes advantage of its customer base with the rates it charges vs the product it provides.
