    Double post for some reason.
    -Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
    James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)
    -Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

    To bring a Performance CAM and Reflashed ECU for VX etc. at $795 ?? down from previous $1000 + retune charges on top Cam is just amazing ! Hopefully the product does well.
    The feedback that we've gotten on a customers car so far has been good The tunes are similar to the ones which we supplier the earlier commodores which have proven themselves time and time again

    Hey MACE, when you say replacement computer, do you mail out a ECU and the buyer sends thier back? Wouldn't that need the ECU linked to the BCM.
    I'll write up in greater detail shortly, long story short ECU's we'll be sending out will have the VATS disabled. In saying this though, we can get their current computers reprogrammed such that this isn't the case.

    Was there any reason why Holden had to be so difficult (which Mace has now made seem easy) with these Computers ? The previous ones seem so easy to tune. Even Fords, have had flash kits for a while. Its not as if Holden stayed with the format....

    The main reason that had put off many main stream companies for playing with them for years was the fact that they chip (memcal) was soldiered directly to the board. Fortunately this has changed over the years with the ability to do so being opensource as DW has mentioned.
