3.Ecutek does not stop these adjustments
4.When tuning with Ecutek on a forced induction application one can not simply bolt the kit on flash the ecu tune it on a dyno and let it hit the road.
5.Basic tuning is followed by (several days/hours/weeks) of driving to allow the ecu to adapt
6.Intermediate tune is done after the ecu has finished its learning curve and logging has been done
7. final tune comes usually after 1 or more intermediate tunes
8.final tunes dials in the tune for the specified final conditions
Now what i'm asking is simply this;
Can a day of dyno tuning done after the kit is installed be the end all be all of the tune before it reaches my hands?

1. All tuniing platform modify ecu table data not just ecutek
2. Stock ecu programming learns fueling and ignition advance adjustments based on fuel your using and current conditions eg temp atmostveric pressure ect, no rearly driving habits
3. Generally no tuners disable this learning process althoug it is possible to disable some of it, its generally required to make fine adjustments to tune based on factors in point 2
4. if tune is good it should just be flash and go, however it might need a bit of onroad testing to smooth out any driveability or other minor issues
5,6,7,8 . Somtimes small revision need to be done espacially if it a new type of kit and tuner has not seen it before, but if it a tried and tested kit initiall tune will be pretty close. Most tuners will offer a couple of revvisions or updates at no charge or a discount rate as they refine the tune or discover new or better ways of doing things.
Ecutek is a good platform but depending on your application or needs their are other options
Ecutek like Open Flash Tablet ot Tactrix Ecuflash or BZREdit ect modify the ecut tables that determine the fueling ignition cam timing ect of the engine.
At this stage Ecutek is the only platform that offeres map switching on the fly any the ability to hijack unneeded input sensors such as evap purge or second O2 sensor and use then for alternate functions such as overboost cut ect, and use the inputs for cutom map tables.
If your after a plug and play supercharger or turbo kit you might want to look at the
