That being said, obviously you're better off with ecutek. Plus if you decide to go e85 which I highly recommend you have flex fuel options with ecutek. E85 pumps that I've filled up at have varied from e87-e45. Flex fuel is really your best option for performance and reliability.

I can see your point but at the same time it's annoying that ecutek is going to nickel and dime you for ***certain features. Why not release it as complete? Like Nintendos view on not having dlc. They aim to release a product in its entirety as its meant to be. Vs ps and Xbox who's out to nickel and dime for the rest of the game later down the line.

Hondata gives you the entire product up front and I'm sure they're doing just fine.

OFT is definitely a different market ploy and I really don't think what they offer should threaten ecutek. The only thing, in my opinion, that turns people away from ecutek is their decision to make you pay for anything you want to do. That or people arent technically inclined to have precise control over specific parameters of their maps.

*** I need to be a master tuner to use the 4 map switch and tune boost in closed loop? Cmonnnn
