I myself have tuned a fair few aftermarket computers, ranging from EMS to Haltech, even expiriemented with Jaycar piggy back ecu to, but looking into that edit software seriously there is so much that goes into and so much you can adjust ect ect. To put it midly its not exactly software desinged for the novice as it basically allows you to adjust what the factory does. Hence why I let Danny make the changes and I give him a slap every now and then we have a disagreement about what the car is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
