I won't touch OPEN ECU, but I can see where many would. I remember the days when I would pay over $1,200 for the Mastro tune. Then I head of SOG that was at $850. Flattening of the profit scale is a natural occurance and happens in most industries. Look at Flat panel TVs that used to be $15,000 that now sell for $1,500. I don't agree with what has happened here because it's stealing. $850 is nothing in the grand scheme of things. I'd pay that for the piece of mind that people like Scott give me.
It won't take long for these "customers" to begin poppong motors before OPEN ECUs reputation will be damaged. As it stands right now, I don't trust it. I want to pay a professional that has put in hours of R&D time before they touch my car.
Just my thoughts.
