You might get them to work up the routines if you could send them an ecm or 'loan' them a complete car.

That was how I got the Flash tuner on three of my cars. Once they worked out the addressing, the style of the code and some of the design protocols, I could tune just about anyway I wanted.

I had an XCal from SCT for my GT.
I shipped them my PCM, because they had not worked with my calibration code.
Even after they send me a "custom" tune for my calibration, I took the XCal to a local dyno and "found" more torque, more peak hp and another 4.5mpg at highway speed
It makes sense the local dyno was able to find more power. SCT didn't have your specific car to tune, they were only doing some basic modifications.

What are your before and after numbers for the highway mpg increase?

How much do you have into the SCT and tuning? I am curious.
