What is everybody using for engine management?

Since I'm sure most people will say Uprev, if I want to have my car dyno tuned to my specific setup, I'm guessing I should just get the standard Uprev Tuner? There was a "tuners" uprev with more options, but I feel like I would be paying extra money for nothing because most tuners won't be able to even utilize all the features. Don't really want the mail in flash because I want it set up for exactly what I have (I also live in Colorado so want it tuned locally).


I just bought a G and I was pretty happy to see that the previous owner put on Injen CAI. Looking deeper, I think that's all they did but maybe they had it flashed. Any way I could tell just by driving?


I've seen numerous sites including Stillen selling Hypertech and Edge Evo, so are those any good? Anybody using Bully Dog? HKS F-Con Pro?

ECUTEK is what most are switching over to from uprev!
and there is nothing wrong with doing a tune by mail.. its the same as doing it on the dyno..all you doing is data logging same as you would be doing on dyno..
youll get the most power out of a real tune.. not those canned tunes from Hypertech or bullydog

Standard uprev--the mail in flash, or the one that's dyno tuned? Assuming the latter, any reason you're making the switch to Ecutek?


Guessing the best decision is whatever tuner you have locally since it is more so the tuner than the engine management. I know we have a pretty good Uprev tuner around here, I'll have to look into Ecutek

just look at the features it has over uprev..
i had a lot of dead spots when i had my car uprev tuned i would press the gas and there would be a very slight delay.
ecutek there is 0 delay responsiveness if 10000% times better

Flat Foot Shift - Full throttle gear changes (Manual Transmission models only)
Knock Warning - Check engine light flashes when knocking is detected
Launch Control - Adjustable Launch RPM using the cruise control (Manual Transmission models only)
Traction Control - Adjustable traction control using custom maps
Flex-Fuel - Ethanol flex-fuel tuning using custom maps
Fail-Safe - Protect the engine from any dangerous situations
Traction Control - Adjustable traction control using custom maps
Per Gear Rev Limit - A different rev limit in each gear
and the best feature is more control over timing!

standard is the whr u can only datalog and mail them out to your preferred tuner for adjustments. I'm making the switch for more adjustments over timing and that adjustable launch control. they're no tuners nor dynos near me.
