OFT Custom E-tuning for Supercharger

Has anyone done a custom e-tune through Openflash for their supercharger kit, specifically the Edelbrock one? If anyone has, how did it go and did you find any major drawbacks with the OFT over ECUTEK.

Thanks

Imho OFT is well fit for DIY crowd or ones that are ok with OTS NA tunes .. but for forced induction in general imho ecutek is better fit (unless it's specific FI kit OFT/Shiv already is familiar with and have made already OTS tunes for). If it's custom, tune is as good as tuners making it, and most well known tuning shops capable of producing quality FI tunes are more likely to use ecutek, as it eases/quickens getting tune done on dyno (whose time is expensive), probably already have previous tunes for similar configuration to quicken work, and ecutek allows them to lock tune to protect their work. Very few tuning shops are willing to do OFT tunes, and not everybody can drive to OFT to have tune done there locally.

Ok that clears some stuff up about ECUTEK but still wondering if anyone has done an e-tune with Openflash for their Edelbrock supercharger kit.

I emailed them recently and they offered to do the etune for $250. So maybe it’s still ongoing.

I did my E-Tune from Aug of last year to Feb of this year. Not sure if anything has changed from then.
