Re: Wheres Boss Edit?

Could this be why it hasnt hit the market yet. Im not even going to try and tune my car, wait and get someone who knows how to do it actually do it.

saw your post on Ford XR6 Turbo forums as well...which forum was it originally posted on and who is the source?

I would think if there was going to be legal action it would have been taken by Ford Motor Company not Ford Australia.

Correct me if I am wrong, but SCT have been defining and modifying PTEC and EEC systems for over 12 months. Not to mention all the other commercial 'edit' products for Ford EEC's that have existed for years.


Sounds like

I heard a similar thing today about modifying code.

The analogy used was, taking a operating system, modifying it and re-selling it.

I too hope this is BS....

Re: Wheres Boss Edit?

Its like saying you can't change your background in windows because it would be "modifying the code".

Would just be some crap a holden boy has started spinning.

Re: Wheres Boss Edit?

I agree with strife and FordV8....thats not a real good analogy for this product.

SCT/CAPA are not reselling someone elses engine management system as their own, they are selling a tool for owners of a management system to change it's settings.

And for those who are sick of waiting....get over it. It's available when it is available.

I agree too, this product will be available when it's ready,you have to do your homework, the master's behind Boss edit will let us know soon enough, be patient little grass hopper's.
