I think of it like my Tahoe, I can put anything in between E10 and E85 without changing anything and it runs great. I'm all about convenience in my old age. :D

^ but you don't have to worry about boost control in the Tahoe. I still think you would want a laptop in the car when filling up. Would be cool to have the sensor trigger a light or something to tell you it's on tune 1 or 2. Then you could turn your boost according to that as a safe starting point. I thought about using the sensor to go between e98 and e85, but I think I'll just test at the rail as an fittings make life easy and for us we have to drive to get our e85 and use cans and barrels, so everyone's situation is so different.

I've thought about having a 2-stage boost controller and just using an input to switch between the two, but I'm not really concerned about having max boost all the time. I just like the idea because even a 10-point percentage change can affect driveability quite a bit. Or if I'm on a cruise and can't find an E85 station, I could always throw in premium and just keep my foot out of it til I can find an E85 station.

All of this will probably be moot as I'm probably just going to run pump all the time. I just want a fun street car, my street racing days are all but done.

This new car is basically my dd. But a few of my wife's wedding clients have mustang and are already talking crap. So although I'd say 98% of my street racing days are over I have a few races I plan to do at some point.

And there is only an 1/8th miles track near me. So I don't plan to drag this car. Might see a track day here and there at cmp when my brother comes to visit but that'll be it.

He'll no! They all drive mustangs. Will admit though one does have me worried. Our babysitters husband has what looks like a gt500 but only saw it as he pulled away after dropping her off 1time.
Looked and sounded mean as hell

And my next door neighbor has a s281 saleen I want to run also

Also I just got a nexus 7 (looks like a tablet) today from my brother for my birthday (last Friday) I opened it up at the restaurant but didn't even turn it on. It says it has internet, and what not. And my question is. The plug is the same as my phone. Do they happen to make an adapter so I could use this with the ecmlink? Adapter would have to convert the usb end of the link cable to the small phone size.

Or is there anyway to make the ecmlink Bluetooth or wireless so I can pick up the signal?
