"The RoadRunner is an LS1-style PCM that has been retrofitted with a Realtime Emulator which allows you to make tuning adjustments on the fly while the vehicle is running! No longer will you need to turn the vehicle off and take minutes of downtime to modify calibrations. No more crossing your fingers every time you reflash the PCM. Changes are instantaneous, and take place through a weather-proof USB cable which can be routed into the cab of the vehicle (for driveability and idle tuning) or to a shop cart (for dyno tuning). The vehicle will respond to the changes immediately. When you're done tuning, you can save the file and flash it to the original PCM. Or, you can operate the vehicle continuously from the RoadRunner without any problem."

 

Realtime updates would be sweet, although this still sounds like you have to flash it when it is all said and done... With that in mind, sounds like a much fancier bi-directional control feature, which is still awesome.

Edit: Re-read it and I was wrong. Sounds very cool. Anyone going to give it a try? Will make steady state dyno tuning MUCH easier.

 

from what I understand the new HPT usb will have the black box tuning which is the same thing as above....I think.

 

This was a statement released yesterday.

Tunercat is also supported.

Real-time and black box datalogging are two seperate methods. Real-time is awesome! This is a modded ecm that changes the parameters almost instantly while dynoing or driving.
