It is pretty dead here but apparently it is a great place to find a call girl. LOL. Just about all internet forums are declining. Also I think there are fewer people modding and tuning their cars. Plus the price of the Holley EMS makes that route more attractive than dealing with a 30 year old ecm and wiring.

Yeah I'm regularly having to clear the site of the spam. I get to it sooner than others. I'm sure at times, it's been up for a while.

But you aren't wrong about alternative options becoming more and more attractive and affordable. All I can say is it's about time. There's a part of me that's sad to see "our" generation of tuning tools be replaced. But that's the nature of improvement. As long as the replacements are better, then I'm OK with better alternatives. Now us that have already invested in this technology have little motivation to migrate if there's no other reason to. But for new-comers, it probably does make more sense to consider the aftermarket options especially with Moates already exiting.

Evidently, everyone is away from tuning and have to sort out a house, car, job, family...
