    On the real side..

    This unnecessary delay of info release better be worth it.

    Teasing too long usually turns the tide the other way, and when results are underwhelming then it implodes.

    For all of you waiting just like me... I've been through this process with my motorcycle, it could take a whole afternoon. In my case, we would do a full pull on the dyno, then unplug the ECU, reflash, then pull on the dyno again. Rinse / repeat.

    Depending on the ECU, each flash could take 5-10 minutes. Since this is their first time on a new ECU, you could go back and forth between flashing and pulling on the dyno until you get a good tune many times.

    If that was the case I'd assume @TacoFlavoredKisses wouldn't have posted "posting info in a few minutes."

    So.. you're saying be patient, this could be a long process fine tuning before they release info, and in the next acknowledge they said they'd release that info 40 minutes ago?

    Not sure I get your point, then.

    Or maybe I don't get the point of saying I'm gonna post info in a sec, then waiting an hour.

    They are in uncharted territory, the process of getting dyno data then re-writing the maps could go through multiple iterations. When you tune one map, it could throw another map off that you were not aware of until after you pull on the dyno again.

    I have a real question for OP,

    While in the ECU, did you find any opportunities where we can hack into a sensor or something to build in a map selector? Sometimes you can trigger sensors and trick the ECU to switch to a different map.
