I would give anything for one of the companies to step up and produce a program and programmer that would let us tune our own cars.

I agree, when I had my mazdaspeed6 I had the CP-e tuner (also have it for the 135/335)which was great for custom tunes but it was a standback so it basically tricked (manipulate) the computer... I eventually switched to the Cobb tuner because of its simplicity of 'off the shelf' tunes and it would flash the computer rather than trick it. what I really enjoyed about it was being able to switch back to the factory tune without issues. Cp-e does make a standback for the 335/135 so I think the issue is not that it cant be done, just that the tuning companies want to stay as lucrative as possible.
personally I would enjoy a cobb like tuner, where you plug it in, flash the computer, unplug it and forget about it. I would even dare to say I would pay per map in addition to the tuner.
also my car is still screaming like a raped ape. thanks again powerchips!
