You need to be using a Power Commander to even use one, and since you aren't ... why do you care? You said ! But you can use a Gipro without PC commander ! A lot of German Rockets works that ways , every year I go to the german rocketten Treffen and speak a lot of mechanics with people ! It's very educationnal because the are a bunch of diffents equipements between Rocket's communities !
You're wrong about your assumptions and comments probably because you don't run the setup necessary to benefit from it, so don't cloud the minds of those who could use it correctly.
On differents Rocket's forum in Europe in the beginning of 2004 and 2005 years , that was said the way to trick the ECU by putting a 700 ohms resistor . If you do not have a good understanding of the differents fonctions of GiPro and how and why it's work and how the fonction of Triumph indicator of engaged gear works , Then Yes it's not usefull to discuss about ! By the way for the moment you are the only one who denied my arguments . But perhaps for you , European points of views can't be considered ?
It has no direct control over the plates or ignition timing ... at all. It indeed does trick the ECU into thinking it's in a gear over 3rd. If the plates partially close in 4th, then they will still partially close with the GiPro and even with a PCIII. We can discuss at infinitum for the exact notion of
DIRECT CONTROL but , like I said if you trick the ECU , made it believing you only use the 4th gear , the ECU will reacts the way it's programmed for 4th even if you are in neutral and ECU will command secondaries , will use the ignition table of the 4th gear ...and at the end Gipro dont control directly if you want say so, but there is a control . But I am agree with you there not cleverness enought in GiPro to dictate Gipro laws against Ecu laws ! The proof ? GiPro is connected on the plug of system who says which gear is in use , not on the ECU !
In documentation of Gipro , they said that GiPro change the ignition tables ! That an argument of used cars vendor ! It's not GiPro who do the work , it's the ECU , who is tricked by GiPro , who does the work ! At my eyes the difference is meaningfull !
The GiPro eliminates that so that the full available power in 4th and 5th can be enjoyed in 1,2 and 3. Oh, and it also displays what gear you are in. 
This time I fully agree with you
This is the workings of the GiPro, it's all it does. That is a little more complexe as I said above !
TuneECU and Tuneboy are different animals and have nothing to do with it, don't try to mix them up. Evidently ! but they have a lot of common fonctions between the 2 of them and they have in commom the fact they can mimics all fonctions of GiPro exept the display of the gear
! So I repeat GiPro only useful fonction is the display of the engaged gear and I think that 100$ is too much for that , you have other systems much less expensive who can do this fonction (see german systems for exemple )
Now if you are financially engaged with GiPro Firm , I better understand your inconditionnal engagements with GiPro !
