But, with the move towards end user tuning, i expect the game will change a lot over the next couple of years. When people stop buying pro tunes and start using community base maps or doing their own tunes, the pro's that are locking tunes will either stop locking or be left with a diminished market share.

They will always have a market with local customers, but I think the days of locked canned tunes is quickly drying up.
This has nothing to do with locked, canned tunes.


Being a d*bag is one thing. Being criminally lazy, doing crap tunes, and blowing up motors due to negligence rather than by simply pushing the limit as the customer asked is something else entirely.

The link wants me to keep logging in via the desktop Web interface from my phone for those links. It's a royal pain in the rear.

Edit: got onto my laptop and accessed the link. Good grief that car's engine sounds like crap!

Yeah, I wouldn't drive it without it going on the dyno & getting a basic, drivable basemap.
