Spot on, the Barra engines use a "Black Oak" PCM which is not the EEC V as used in EF-AU, although they were both developed by the same company.

Most tuners would do a couple of dozen or more BA/BF's for every AU they see, so nowhere near as skilled on AU's.

There are 2 schools of thought here:
  1. That the results gained on AU's have more to do with the capabilities of the tuner than the capabilities of the PCM or the CAPA box.
  2. That the Sniper tuning system will be a silver bullet that fixes all the flash tuner problems.

Only time will tell. Perhaps we should make it a poll?
