I just worry that a lot of people get the placebo + butt dyno effect lol.
But again, I do agree that the OFT has a lot of potential, its useful if you're a tuner, its useful if you want to go E85, and its useful if you plan on doing a lot of bolt on mods for your NA car.
This guy has $700 to spend right now though. I still dont know if putting 500+ into a single thing will be more satisfying.

Look at the logs in addition, plus "butt dyno" is much more relevant when discerning overall car response and powerband characteristics.
People downplay being able to 'feel' mods and often times adversely attribute the term "butt dyno" to discredit others' findings. The proof is in the pudding, I suggest you take a friend's OFT tuned car for a drive or find someone at a meet who has it done, with similar mods to yours. Let us know your experience
Don't forget OFT is perfectly capable of boosted tuning, with OTS maps available for variety of kits right now, more on the way, including custom tuning of FI maps via romraider.
$500 for data logging + E85 potential + scalable maps + ability to alter cold start/flat foot shifting/launch control/rev limit altering....
you'd think I was a fanboy for OFT but I'm just a very, very satisfied customer who has a long track record with opensource applications and subaru engines. The OFT is so far my most enjoyable experience yet in that arena.
Ecutek is a close rival and depending on his end goals, another significant rival. But so far OP seems to be in line with what OFT does.
Opensource is the shit and is expanding all the time, regardless of what OP does he's come to the right forum to get advice
