Huge performance and horsepower/torque gains in all modes with the OE Tuning tune for M278.

What settings do you want to change in Eco?

As the OE guy (?) pointed out, yeah- that's all possible. Depending on the car, you can sometimes change the default start mode, so eco would stay the same for, say, long highway cruises, but you'd have to hit the button to go into Eco.

I read somewhere that you are going to be coming to Arizona in some form, is this true?

If so, when and what company is going to represent you?

1. "Speedriven to Arizona" is a rumor I've heard before, too. It's not something that I think is in the immediate future, and- as a rumor- it gains credibility as the snow falls on Chicago and loses credibility as the temperatures climb above 100 in Arizona. Take that how you will.

2. Why would we need another company to represent us? I don't think I understand this question.

there are a few companies out here Dyno-comp, Goodspeed for example, that build and sell other companies products like renntech, carlsson, etc... Since they have their own tunes and dyno's I was wondering why they would carry your off the shelf maps. Especially since they also tune open source.

As far as why would you need another company representing you. A lot of times if a company doesnt want to commit fully to going into a market, they find people to represent them, because it makes more financial sense. Especially if they don't play on living in another city, or in this case, another part of the country. I'm sure you guys don't need anyone to represent you, don't take it so personal as it was not an insult.

But thanks for clearing a lot up for me.

Oh, for sure! Yeah, like I said- we've talked about both Arizona and Florida as potentially being places we'd like to move, but that's still in the future. Going with an established shop might be an option, and we've worked with Dynocomp and Atwood in the past, but I think if we move, we'll just move, you know?
