so, the check engine light still works, right? i'm not talking about the exclamation point, but rather the actual check engine light, which is connected to the on board diagnostic system. they check that to make sure it is functional. are you saying that you have written code or something to bypass the MAF check step and trick the tech into thinking there is one still there? technically that is called fraud, and here it is a felony. here in california, if they find you have something like that, they can impound your car, fine you, or even jail you

how many of the maps does your system give access to? as i said, there are at least 20 of the 100+ in the system that are required for the 968 to run correctly, and that varies from country to country. i've seen standalones that only had a handful of maps in the module. they didn't work at all.

actually, the 968 is unique. between the variocam, the dual resonant intake, the tuned header, and the precious metal cat, none of which are on the 944, tuning is tricky. anybody can create something that starts and runs, but to get it tuned to adequately maintain 14.7 across load and weather conditions is a lot of work.

as for a knock counter, i don't know what provisions your system has, but the OEM system only retards timing a maximum of 6 degrees. it would be very easy to overtune and exceed that, without a knock counter to tell you what is going on. this is particularly critical in mid range part throttle tuning.

yes, you said you had a map for a stock car. i presume by that, you mean that you have a clone of the 100+ maps used in the stock car. that is not what i was suggesting. i was suggesting that you would stand a better chance of selling them if they included a performance tune already, and provided charts showing that you made more power than the best chip already out there. most of the guys don't want to tune that much, and would be served by a starting point.

your market is obviously track guys. they are really the only ones who could truly benefit by this kind of thing. i've learned that one over the years, in developing the largest and most successful performance product line in the world for the 968.

again though, best of luck. there is always room for something else.
