Perhaps an entirely new group of fan boys to offend?

Ben,
It's also easy for you to sit on top of your MSPNP perch since you have a car that is successfully running it and putting up good numbers. There are still quite a few stories of people who can't even get theirs to communicate with a PC. Some people aren't geek certified to hook **** up to a PC to get it to work. Then they're stuck because there isn't a "guy" to call for support who has a MS running on the same setup.

I didn't mean to come off like a fan boy. Perhaps I did. Good call Jay.
Really I went in there to offer an opinion and an option, and thought I did so in a correct, respectful, and helpful manner.
Frank, I know of only 1 dude with those issues... and his problem is loading usb/serial adaptor drivers on his vista box.
Points well taken.
Tom's tangent is quite amusing.

Had that not happened, I would have done it myself. Perhaps I wouldn't have gotten all the power out of it that I did, but if I got it to 90% of current it would have been better than where it was before. FWIW, I tuned the cruising zones myself.

Yup, Jerry offered his help, and I got a deal on dyno time. It was a no brainer. And now there is an FI base map for the other guys to start with.

I only pointed out that you had time and money invested into the tuning, where as the PC is supposed to be a plug and go solution. And good on you for helping the rest of the "community". Hopefully DIY will spend some time and money on further improving your map on different cars. Even if they have to charge more for the solution.

If you haven't noticed this, maybe you will from now on.
I guess you said it clearer than I did, but this is exactly what Tom said and what I've been trying to say.

Jay, he was doing the "mature" thing for a long time and just letting people bash him and his company. If you look at all the posts about FM, BRP/SOT, and Begi, Tom and FFS is by far the one vendor that gets "bashed" the most frequently. Even when people were getting screwed by Brant of BRP, no one really bashed Brant.

The difference is I said what I had to say with out the sarcasm and pseudo wit (Tom not you).
Amazing how we all get so invested in some vendors product that we take it personally when someone points out the short commings. It's not like someone is saying your mom's a ***** (I have no knowledge of this either way).
I need a nap.

Besides, you can always ignore the posts you don't like. <G>

I didn't bash Tom/FFS. No one else did either--except maybe Loki just a little.tom gets confrontational semi often. I read a great deal of what he writes, and have seen him get a bit testy.anyway I think that whole thread started going downhill when the ignoramus from moss came in & the slide certainly wasn't arrested by tom.
