They have to as no two engines, regardless if it is the same model and everything will have the exact same values.
To you it might not be beta. But I can assure you from any software development person/manufacture/project lifecyle, it is infact squarely within the Beta phase of it's lifecycle.
Power is only half the story. Otherwise by your narrow view of "top notch" we should put the Accel DFI, BigStuff, Tec3, Microtech, VEMS etc in that grouping since they all make big power with little time slips to prove it.
It takes a heck of a lot more than the "ultimate powah" mentality to convince me that an EMS is worth dick. I have seen great computers (regarldess if it is PC or other embeded system) run like complete garbage or do things it is not supposed to due to coding. Garbage in, Garbage out.
Granted Jason has help in the form of Matlab but not even that program is perfect. After all it was created by a group of people to try and get good repeatable code out the door. Like any other compiler, it is only as good as the instructions given to it.
Again, I have had the opportunity to correct Jason Siebel on EMS theory which coincindently, he was adamant about his stance which he was wrong on, which also happened to be contradictory to Bosch Motorsports DE and Australia, Magnetti Marelli and just about every single Race EMS manufacture out there. (SF, search for MAP and BARO, quite comical to see his response. my id is the same as here).
I hope he has people hired for support because again, the best hardware in the world does not mean shit if the support infrastructure is non-existant (ie call and leave a message is not going to cut it) that is a sure fire way to alienate customers.
The day that I can put an EMS in ANY car and it automatically adjust for everything is the day that I will be impressed. Until then it is just a set of parameters that are programmed into the computer to adjust certain variables which is no different than O2 feedback control set at ±15% authority instead of ±100% authority.
I understand.
