I have heard that Jessup used to do that, but don't have any credible sources on that. Other than that as a possibility, the only one I am sure about was the Catcher tuning. But that is just a smarty.

Not many people of cracked these ECMs. As cool as EFI live is, there are still some better programs out there that function in real time that make tuning much more efficient. However, none of them are available for our trucks.

it's about 100 bucks and it brings your cpu current it's really helps if you buy a used truck and it has a super chip or something in the comp and your new edge doesn't work right on level 5 or 6.
