Unfortunately, some owners are under the impression that ECUTek's RaceROM features only adds launch control, FFS, and other novel functions, but this is far from what it's capable of in the hands of a pro tuner.
ECUTek's RaceROM gives the tuner the ability to utilize 16 custom maps to take variable inputs to create custom functions that the factory ECU was not ever intended to do. They've essentially re-written the factory logic to implement these custom features.
I will generally use every map available to write my own custom functions for flex-fuel control, such as:
Closed loop boost control
Boost based on ethanol content
Boost cut based on ethanol content
Boost by Gear
Boost by map switching
Boost by water temperature range (hi and low)
Boost by oil temperature range (hi and low)
(all boost functions work together at once and are all under closed loop boost control on the same flashed ROM)
Closed loop fuel target map and WOT correction based on WB 02 input, etc, etc.
Let's put it this way, if you wanted to create a crazy function where the throttle plate is limited to 50% on left hand turns and a rev limiter of 5k rpms is implemented on right hand turns, this would be possible with ECUTek.
At the end of the day all tuning software is just that, software. There is nothing tangible for the end user to pick up and look at. It's what the software is capable of that makes the difference.

And I don't disagree on ecuteck's functionality at all. Simply saying that it's just a tool. Same as OFT. Now yes ecuteck may have more features of tunability but not all people need that. OFT in the right hand gives street and daily drivers just what they need, without excess guages. Now the reliability of the tools in question are not of themselves but rather all in the hands of the tuner that uses them. Only point I was trying to make. And if someone believe shiv is unreliable... GTFO
