Its all good man... There are a lot of people out there that cannot tune, and do not want the responsability of tuning their own car... Neptune is great for that, because you know that the tuner working with your car is experienced, and knows what he/she is doing. With Neptune you can still adjust launch rpms, rev limits and such yourself. Besides, how often do you need to adjust your tune? If you are adjusting it all the time, then something is wrong with it, or you're just a compulsive fiddler.. haha! This is EFI, not carburators... you don't have to adjust if the temps change 5 degrees or anything... heh.

I know that i'm not going to convince you though, so i'm just going to stop here... i knew this would somehow turn into some sort of argument over whatever is better. It doesn't matter to me personally what you go with... i was just trying to point out that if you want Neptune, you do not have to go to CFT, it can be done local to you. Personally, i'm using a Motec M800 fully decked out (about $11,000 when all is said and done).... so it isn't like i'm biased towards either system.

But to me, if i'm going to spend a LOT of money on a motor, and my car, then i want a computer that i know i can rely on, not just whatever i could find for the cheapest. So in my opinion (i do have the right to post an opinion, eh? LoL), if i was building a street car, i would run Neptune... if i am building a race car, i'll run Motec.

neptune is a very good program and a great alternative to a lot of the more expensive programs for people who don't do their own tuning, and if i was one of those people, i would probably give it a try. the fact i'm not one of those people is why i feel the way i feel towards it. i know that it's a great program and honestly, in my eyes, it's almost a waste considering not just anyone can purchase a license. i wouldn't expect it to be free or even cheap, but why be so freaking selfish with it? i would be willing to pay a good amount for a license, but that's not even an option to use 'small fish' which causes a lot of dislike towards the program for your average street tuning/meet me at the dyno type of tuner that doesn't own a shop with a piece of 30k dollar equipment
