@Unichip Jack

I've heard rumors that were confirmed in this MotoIQ article that even with an EcuTek tune the car would dial back the power significantly if it didn't like something about the fuel/conditions/phase of the moon.

Would this be any different with the piggyback or would the car's ECU still be able to make such huge adjustments?

It may be that these adjustments are necessary, but I've heard of torque limiting ECUs on certain Lexuses that let you tune the engine but after a while it relearns itself back to practically stock power levels.

Thanks!
