I didn't see any maps under Ferrari and some other manufacturers.
That and other reasons are why I've been steering away from Unichip recently. Also the new intake maps are taking forever to be posted. I've been shown how tricky piggybacks can become when they are always fighting the stock ECU and the closed loop fuel trims over time.

When E85 comes to mind, I can't imagine it's easy to tune for it without getting true adjustments to the actual tables in the ECU, not just intercepting and changing the signals. Getting consistent AFR's with closed loop fuel trims is crucial and I'm not sure that Unichip can deliver that. Also I think it says something that no aftermarket turbo/sc manufacturer has been successful with Unichip as a tuning platform yet, they are all EcuTek.

I like the no footprint idea and the price, but there has been too many delays with Unichip E85 and FI development and that makes me really nervous. Leaning towards EcuTek here...
