Automakers lost lobby to prevent PCM modifications...
Not exactly LT1 related, but would effect us gearheads at some point. Not sure if the news got out, but it looks like the automakers lost the lobby to block access to PCM code for engine modifications using the DMCA. Awesome.

Here is the full ruling....the PCM software part starts on the bottom of page 39.

The main thing is that even though you have to maintain emissions passing standards(which is doable...I'm doing it now...however where I live does not do tail pipe emissions checks...only PCM checks..), we can mod the software without worrying about jailtime, legal action, etc.
