Do your products leave an electronic footprint? Say I buy the predator, If unplugged when going to the dealer for a service can they find traces of your programmer? I see the trinity has re flash, what about predator? The in tune looks cool, but I'm looking to stay low buck right now. My truck runs fine, tuning it to stay at optimal 93 octane since it's all I run would be grate. Also for the future for any drive-ability issues that may arise with AMF on the 5.3. As far as your company's claims of horse power gains, do you have any real world data on increased Hp on a stock configuration, IE rolling dyno ect.
none of the programmers need to stay plugged in... you connect it to the obd port, flash the tune to the vehicle's ecm, then you unplug the tool...
before going to a dealer, you would want to make sure that you restore the "original backup" stock tune to the vehicle first... and that way, no - there is no footprint...
if you left the tune in the vehicle, then yes, obviously they'd be able to tell... but when you restore the original backup stock tune, there is no footprint/watermark left, so no worries there...
the trinity, predator, intune, ALL have the ability to reflash/restore the original stock tune to the vehicle...
keep in mind, that the predator's will be phased out soon, due to the intune being their replacement... and the predator's do not have and will not have tcm/tranny support... the Trinity currently does and the intune will soon as well.. plus they will be able to tune more than one vehicle at a time with another planned future update.
there are no driveability issues... you can disable the DOD/AFM if you want, or leave it on... the hp/tq claims ARE based on real-world data, since the tunes are developed on an actual vehicle on a dyno...
