I see it being of great use with FI. DD tune, Kill tune, Mileage tune and E85 tune, all without ever having to keep a laptop with you at all times.

I really haven't followed COS5, but I don't think they ever did make one for the 1 meg PCM's. But with this, you could have a hot NA tune on one chip and with the flip of a switch a N2O tune on the other. So basically, ya it would work around that.

This is very interesting. I like the idea. So, using HPT, how many credits would I use to have 4 different tunes on the PCM? Just 2?

I already have that capibility...well,almost,I have 3 tune files to swicth between.

Its called a Superchips x3.

I know some hear Superchips and cringe thinking its all generic crap tunes but they are not.They are 100% custom and as long as the tuner knows what he is doing,it is no different than tunes using HP tuners,Efi Live,etc,etc.

Not to mention I paid less than most are paying for mail order tunes....and i have the ability to change tunes without sending ecm's out.Also has the ability to datalog(although ive heard from my tuner the dataloging isnt the best)read and clear trouble codes,and ALOT more!!

So why spend all that money when there is somthing already out there that does the same things,does it without pulling the ecm apart,and does it cheaper?

Also,lets say one just HATES Superchips tuning programs....You can tune with HP Tuners,Efi Live,etc,etc and then burn the tune to your x3 hand held and then make your other custom tunes and repeat.Not to mention,since a hand held is self contained,there is only a TINY chance the end user could mess it up.Most people shouldnt be working on cars and for most,going into the ecm,even though it is super simple,is probably out of there realm.
