The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not.

I swear, there is a higher percentage of dummies driving pickup trucks than any other type of vehicle...except maybe the tandem dump trucks flying around the Lower Mainland - had an empty setup "race" me on the Lougheed Highway today, just let the silly bastard go....

Based on my experience here in Texas, you're absolutely right.

Was that Hurricane City Utah?

I've got a place not far from there.
