---------
I don't want to start a pissing match here but I can give you a little info about our software and our tuning expertise.
Paul Booth and I have been working on tuning software that has striking similiarities to the other systems out there. We have both worked very hard to come up with our priliminary Ford system. We have found that the program is growing beyond our expectations in that we now have thirty dealers using our tuning software. We have recently started to go back and add a "quick calibration" utility to our software that will allow you to enter your vehicle info and the software will automatically produce a tune that should get you very close to perfect.
EFI Solutions is using information and technology that was obtained from Pro-M. We paid this company to work with us to develop our own tuning system and they are now in litigation with Pro-M. Anyone using their software has been or will be informed about our actions against EFI Solutions.We would like to provide any of these people with a free copy of our software to prevent them from being "shut down"
We have found that almost all tuners have been "lying" to the computer to get a quick and dirty "tune". They do this because they are trying to mask or compensate for other problems on the car and they are just trying to make a living like every one else in this business.
We manufacture mass air meters as well as tune and we find that if we "tell" the computer the MAF transfer functions and other precise info about auxiliary input and output devices, that the cars run perfect all year long.
We calibrate, others "tune".
I guess I can end with this.... We have several dealers that were already in posession of other tuning systems, but they chose to purchase ours as well. I believe they have done this because we try very hard to provide them with the proper tools and information to make them successful in this complicated business.

So can anybody from EFI say anything about this? I don't want to rush to judgement before Tim at EFI gets his say.
