IE I can send in my ECU to FT86 Speedfactory (as they're a master tuner so they don't need me to buy a license), pay for the reflash I want, and then they send me my ECU back. However I cannot change or edit the tune at all... but that would be ok with me.
Hmm I was unaware of that. I thought every ECU had to have a license in oredr to have ECUtek tunes applied to the car. This makes ECUtek a lot more affordable. One question though, if you have to take your car in for warranty work, what do you do? I'm not trying to be an A hole or anything of this matter, I'm just wondering if you can send it back in to FT-86speedfactory and have them return it to stock, ship it back, then ship it back out to them to have them retune it.

This wouldn't be a bad option though if you have a master tuner close to your house if they do offer this.
