Computers and tunes
Computers and tunes Anyone ever tried to "wire in" a second stock computer to have a "track tune" in that can be switched on the fly? Or at least have a second computer with a tune that you switch out at the track? Thinking of having a street tune for 15lb boost on the street with pump gas and a second computer with a tune for 15lb and 150 wet with race gas for the track. What do yall think?

Some more options:
- EFILive FlashScan V2 allows you flash your PCM in handheld mode: you edit/create multiple tunes on a PC, and then you download to V2, you can then flash any one of those tunes into your PCM without requiring your laptop to be present (takes about 30 seconds);
- Run a Custom OS (available from EFILive and HPT) which provides extra tables for boost/nitrous: on the steet it will run the normal tables, at the track (when boost/nitrous kicks in) it will run the extra tables.

For realtime tuning (while engine is running). options are:
HPTuners: unused portions of PCM memory are used to do realtime tuning of most often edited tables.
EFILive: talks to Roadrunner PCM which allows realtime tuning of any/all tables.
