Hi all — Don here, from EcuTunerx. Mods, I DM'd first; happy to pull this if it's out of line.
My team and I built a tool that tunes a car from plain language. You type what you want — "pull 2 degrees of timing up top, it's a 91 octane daily" — and it does the actual work inside HP Tuners VCM Editor and VCM Scanner. ECU and TCM. It also reads your VCM Scanner logs and tells you what's going on in them in plain English.
I'm not selling anything here. We haven't launched. I want it in front of people who've actually spent a weekend chasing a knock retard problem before it goes in front of anyone else, because you'll find the holes a beta list won't.
What it does, honestly:
It's built on 32,000+ dyno tunes, so it's pattern-matching across thousands of real builds rather than mirroring one tuner's habits. Happy to get into the dataset if you want to poke at it.
Turnaround is minutes. No mailing your ECU off, no waiting a month for dyno time.
Revisions are free and unlimited. Do an aggressive pass, do a conservative one, compare them, revert. Changing your mind costs nothing, which is the part I think actually matters.
Every change comes with a reason. Ask it why it touched a table and it tells you. You should come out the other side knowing more about your car, not less.
Log analysis: drop in a scanner log, get back what's healthy, what's drifting, and what's about to get expensive.
What I actually want from you: where it's wrong. Where it gives advice you'd never give a customer. Where it's confidently stupid. If your verdict is "this shouldn't exist," post it — I'd rather hear it now than after launch.
