No doubt. I'm sure someone like Marc could do the same with enough time. The MS3-Pro is a lot easier and faster than altering the GM ECU, especially if the chip has to be mailed to someone to make a change.

BTW, it's not perception. :-)
"Definition of perception for English Language Learners. : the way you think about or understand someone or something. : the ability to understand or notice something easily. : the way that you notice or understand something using one of your senses."

So perception can be and is reality. I was not implying that you were "imagining" a better running motor.

I don't think its any more difficult in modifying the tune using the OEM ECM.
There's many more parameters that an OEM needs to address and configure due to emissions, driveabiity, and fuel consumption considerations. Understanding how to use them actually gives you greater control over the tune. Not having used the software for the MS3, I can't comment further on its usability, but I can say that it is not necessary to ship your prom anywhere in order to make changes.
There's technology available, pretty inexpensively, that makes tuning on a remote basis a possibility.
