is it the same principal for cossie webber ECU's??
eg on my car say i wanted a good 350/350 package with a decent cruise map for fuel economy...
he would copy the file off the current ecu, modify/replace the relevant sections of my file, burn it to a new eeprom then send it back??
I ask as on my car i have ALS strategy which from what i understand is completely different tables and values to the standard map and hence if i was to modify the standard map the ALS should be left as was???
I ask as i was under the impression that with MSD products ALL previous data is deleted so in effect id loose my ALS if i had the car worked on and to get back to the place i was before, id have to buy the MSD ALS.
Obviously i dont want to spend out an extra £350 to get back something i already have....
Is that the case or have i misread it???
