It has come to my attention that John aka Alpha formerly of Brotherz Racing has been illegally or falsely tuning vehicles on eCtune.
What is eCtune?: eCtune is a engine management software used with factory honda engine computers. Visit
eCtune - Home for more information.
Brotherz Racing obtained a Trial version of the eCtune software which allowed them to tune on the software to try it out etc.. In this period they claim to have tuned 5-6 vehicles using the software. The trial expired & was never officially or legally renewed. The problem lies with the fact that John aka "Alpha" claims to still be able to tune vehicle's on eCtune and possibly is illegally using the software or is lying to client's and using a freeware software instead.
Calvin the owner of eCtune would like to find out who John aka "Alpha" has actually tuned on eCtune legitimately when he had a trial version & who he lied to by claiming to tune on eCtune & actually tuning the car on crome or a similar freeware software.
If John aka "Alpha" or Brotherz Racing was charging customer's licensing fees (per car license) and not actually paying eCtune's licensing fees (per car license) the customers were being lied to & falsely being tuned on crome or a very old version of eCtune. John aka "Alpha" & or Brotherz was pocketing the money from the supposed eCtune licensing which the customer's paid for.
Fact: John aka "Alpha" nor Brotherz racing has never paid for any eCtune licensing fees & never became an official licensed Dealer/Tuner.
Fact: After being confronted about this issue, John aka "Alpha" admittedly informed me that he was tuning cars on Crome yet informing the clients that he was tuning on eCtune.
Fact: If John aka "Alpha" is somehow using ectune's software illegally to tune vehicle's he will be prosecuted to the full extent possible.
Fact: Phearable.net will be the only authorized & licensed Dealer/Tuner in the Tampa Bay area.

How to verify you are on a newer stable version of eCtune:
Turn the key to the vehicle's key to the IGN position and watch your CEL light. (Double click fuel pump priming position).
The check engine light will illuminate in a series of flashes. One long flash then two quick flashes following. If your vehicle only flashes with one long flash it is not on a stable version of eCtune or it maybe tuned on crome.
Is it possible that your car is running on an older version which does not have the check engine light blinking code added to it? Yes
If you would like assistence checking if your vehicle is truely tuned on eCtune or if it is on another software you may setup an appointment with phearable.net.
