HEADLINE NEWS "Craig Moates software and hardware in Chevy High Performance magazine"

Craig is now famous on an international scale (not that he wasn't before the article). I would think his web site will be getting a lot more hits now that his name is plastered all over the tech article with pictures of some of his tuning hardware.

Congratulations Craig, please don't forget about us peons here at TGO

It looks like there is a follow up article in the works too.

Steve

This is true, and I hope I didn't read the part wrong about the freeware/shareware where it said something about TunerPro and TunerPro TR. It made it sound like they were both freeware.

I hope that it doesn't overtax Craig or Mangus on product development. I'm sure that they will see increases in sales and rightfully so. I guess if things go well enough and the big bucks start comming in they may accually have more time to spend on product development by quiting thier day jobs.

Really though, great job on everyones part that had a hand in DIY-ECM development.:hail:

Craig is worldwidely famous previous to the Chevy Magazine article. His software scanns vehicles at 16.000 kilometers of him (or 10.000 miles) and his free help, attention, service, etc. are greats.

Congrats again,

Denis V.

They are both freeware. Registration is optional (but highly encouraged). ;-)

Mangus, I guess I was mistaken, I thought only TP was free and TP RT was $35. Thanks for the clarifcation. When I get TP RT I'll be sure to register it.

I think that the low Cost of to register Tuner Pro is well worth it. As Soon as I get my Flash N' Burn I will take some money out of the Next Pay check and send it his way. This is the least we can do for Mark Taking His time To devolpe such a Great Tuning Software. Same With Craig I am also Going to donate some Cash Flow His Way TO.

I think that's the way I would do it, but Mark just isn't that way. I remember reading a bit about his idea on all this a while back, and he really does work on this as a hobby, and I think he said that if it ever gets to where it's not fun, he'll be done.

I know I'll send some money when I actually start burning chips, editing bins, and emulating. And of course Craig will get my order for harware!!!! Nice stuff, haven't seen anything as good (Haven't seen much of ANYTHING) anywhere!

Forgot to mention how appreciative I am of what these guys, and all the DIY-EFI pioneers did for us. I also really appreciate Grumpy and Doc's help to keep me understading, along with all the others. You know who I mean!

The October issue has some other good articles in it too. It would be worth buying to have on hand.

that could be due to the fact that some of us worked with Shawn West in creating the article. I know that shawn contacted Criag,Myself, Bruce, and the list goes on. There was alot of support from eveybody involved here in making the info easy to digest. So if it looks like plagirism, remember there is only a limited amount of description avaiable. this is a narow topic in terms of ECM terminology. I doubt it could have been written differently. Either Way i think this was a lightyear size step for the DIY community and the progress going forward looks ever brighter. it might also put increased pressure on the Manufactures of the vehicle as well as the after market to come clean. Espcially on the companies like Hypertec,TPIS etc etc etc.

Either way its a good thing and im proud that chevy high performance was even willing to run teh article. not only that but im sure its gonna create some termoil with the advertisers.

but in the end whatever it took to make it happen was a worth while cuase.
