My personal experience with both Uprev and EcuTek Tunes

Hey Guys
I'm the one who tuned the car, if you have any questions please let me know!
Back in June EcuTek dealers (me) were promising advanced EcuTek features and they've just taken longer to get done with all the other projects going on.
Right now EcuTek has most of the stuff done.
-Map Switching
-MAP Sensor Scaling
-Injector Scaling
-Extended Engine Load (for High HP Cars)
-VE Based SD
-Custom Maps
--ecu boost control
--Boost limiter
--flex fuel
--traction control
To name a few
Map Switching can defiantly be done on-the-fly on the manual cars, not sure on the auto cars just yet..

Thanks, but when we doin your Juke
What's really cool is for those higher powered cars..
The factory computer's fuel maps, ignition maps, trq maps etc have a load limit on them. EcuTek's new release of RaceRom is simliar to the GTR where there's no engine load limit. This means a few things, 1 - you dont have to screw with the k value or bfs multiplier to give the maps more range (if done wrongly will make the car drive funny) 2 - Will give us more range on the trq table, so those high powered autos won't be forced MAX clamping during part throttle.
That's the simple version of it lol

EcuTek Tune: My first impression of the EcuTek tune was holy crap. During the first test drive I was in shock of how much more alive the car felt. The throttle response was great and the shifts with the paddles happen almost instantly. Huge improvement over Uprev in those departments. Like the uprev tune, you feel really feel the power in the mid range but it pulls right through the upper band too. During everyday driving the EcuTek tune feels just like stock. The shifts in stop and go traffic are smooth and I didnt experience and jerky downshifts like I did with the Uprev tune. The EcuTek tune only came with one map so I wont have that added piece of mind should I ever valet the car. New updates are expected in the next month or so hopefully something is in the works.
QQ for you OP. When you come out of a turn, lane change or from stand still, do you get that dreaded transmission lag? If you dont mind, what ecm/tcm update you're on(ITB12-027)? thanks.
I have an 09 G37Xs (ITB12-027), stock but with a uprev tune. Yeah yeah, but I couldnt stand the transmission lag. It was either uprev or VB upgrade and I can always resell software. From the sound of it, ecutek might suit my needs better.
Not to discredit uprev, maybe we had an inexperience tuner? In the interest of full disclosure, I ask my tuner to change the ET mapping per link below but I doubt he did it. He said he tweaked it a little, up the line pressure and flatten out the AFR curve. Yes, I get a tune can do so much but base on the feed back, I was expecting more as far as shifting is concern.

So you're saying (and correct me if I'm wrong please) UpRev can be used to put down as much power as an ECUTek, it's just that the power will drop after a few runs due to the ECU's dynamic timing strategies? Whereas in an ECUTek tune you'll put down the same numbers all day everyday?
So theoretically speaking, one run vs one run, there shouldn't be any power difference?

So glad to see more and more G owners going with EcuTek and seeing great results. I was one of the first last spring to be the guinea pig and had RT Tuning in Lansdale PA work their tuning magic. My numbers? 310whp and 271tq.
Funny thing is I've read some stock numbers output better than UpRev. That's just pathetic.
