I just give my opinion on what works and what I highly suggest to use.
In regards to updates, yes I do take forever to get back to people. I am truly sorry about that and working on improving that but everything I release I try my best to make sure it is to my own personal standards on my own personal car.
Why are there constant updates, here is the reason.
1. These vehicle ECU's are highly complex and to be honest I am always learning on them. I use to be able to tune multiple makes and models of vehicles. Use too... The ECU's have now become incredibly complex and dialing in the elusive "perfect tune" is a lot more work but something I strive for.
2. EcuTek, keeps releasing more maps and updates for additional tables they have determined to do different things. So I have to go through and test them out. Some really help with small things in the tune, maybe things unseen or felt in the tune but good for the overall performance of the vehicle.
3. I listen to my customers, though I may not respond fast I do listen to what they would like to see. So I focus my time on those specific items on our development car. So the tune morphs as people's requests change and the owners change.
4. Are the tunes good to drive on now? It is just like an iPhone, we are version 5 and version 5s is coming out. There can always be improvements for various reasons and as the client base increases so does the input from customers.
Hope that answers some of those questions and basically it is just not as easy as it use to be, for a variety of reasons and because of that the industry change, whether you want to believe it or not.
Cheers,

Thanks for the response. I hope you didn't take my post personal as it was in no way directed at you. I have heard many great things about you, and about a few other tuners, and its just so hard to come to a conclusion of who to go to at the end of the day.
Your points make a lot of sense, I guess there is always room for improvement. Just hope you don't have security exploits as bad as apple seems to have at times
I actually had sent an email to you when I was having this issue with the MAP sensor and wasn't sure if it was that or not. What is the easiest way to communicate with you if I ever needed to? Figured email was best, as the forums are usually second priority.
