I think most of us on here just use multiple pcm's when it starts getting into doing multiple tunes. Or flash back and for as necessary.

What last call is talking about sounds interesting. Is it a full second tune or just limited levels set?

I am under the impression that these computers aren't capable of dual tunes, so just guessing the "valet" mode is just speed/rpm limiting of some fashion.

Just make sure you warn whoever is gonna be driving it. Don't want them pulling out in traffic and getting rear ended because they can't accelerate.

You still need to tell them. If he has a heavy foot and the engine shuts off at 25 mph unexpectedly, you will be liable if he busts his lip on your steering wheel.
It will be a lot more violent than shutting the engine down at 95 mph.

What? It's not going to just shut down. just limit the amount of throttle input and RPM's

The PCM on a 2000 shuts the engine off because the it can't operate a cable throttle. I forgot about limiting the rpm, that would be safer for the driver, but all the talk has been about a speed limiter.
