So just to bump this thread with further information...
I have been toying with ecutek's software quite a bit as of late. The custom maps are FANTASTIC. Absolutely worth the money. I have been wanting a platform with a polished setup like this for a while. I really hope they expand on the input fields, and allows us to abuse some extra outputs... but even as it sits this is great. Making cold starts on E85, flex fuel, and other odd bits work is just simply easy.
My only big pet peeve is the sheer time my flash time has been taking. On my current VM i am at roughly 4-4.5 minutes. Which puts me at over 10+hrs of simply waiting while my laptop is flashing an ecu (i am at roughly 150 flashes to date so far). Great work guys, this was what this community needed. I plan on posting up some threads on different E85 techniques, map switching techniques, and other bits soon.
I just wish I had a running car so I could progress faster, having to borrow locals cars has been a royal PITA. Just imagine what I would have played with if my own car had an engine in it lol...
