No real point to going ECUTek other than to add a Flex fuel kit for e85. Still, I run e85 from concentrations of e50 to e90 on Shiv's OFT tune safely while making great power. The Phantom ESC runs about 5lbs of boost. At these low pressures OFT tuning with the MAF is just as effective as Speed Density tuning with ECUTek (another advantage of the near parasitic-free boost offered by Electric Supercharging, turbo/supercharging needs another couple of psi to make similar top end numbers). Squeezing out an extra couple of WHP may not be worth the extra $700 - $1k for an ECUTek setup and custom tune.
