I understand and I am perfectly fine with that, but where would someone like myself (who's intrigued about tuning my own car) start?? I am not looking to get into the "tuning" business. I am not looking to steal customers away from companies. I just would like the option to learn how to tune my own car and what software we can develop or use to do this. Now, I have heard that the "system" is upwards of 20k and is very complex? Not sure if that is true or not. Could it possibly be just a way to scare us away? Regardless..... Along with the inconvenience of having either to pull out the ecu and ship it across the US or driving hours to get to a local dealer that can tune it everytime you make the littlest performance upgrade, it's silly and costly to me. I hate the idea of paying $600 to get a dyno tune when I already shelled out $500 for a custom tune. I would rather put my money into the hardware/software and research on what we can do to possibly build a standalone system like the diablos or buy an existing system?.....Now,having said that, do I like my Eurocharged tune? Absolutely! I think they do a great job and have tried to help me any which way possible and I appreciate every effort they have made for me. They have made my car much stronger, but do I want to rely on them every time I need to make an adjustment to my tune? No, it's an inconvenience IMO. I am just venting.....Sorry. I am sure others feel the same
