This is really cool. The one thing the LNF platform always needed was to do away with the friggen MAF sensor. Tuning by Manifold air pressure is the way to go.
I believe this also means that if a stock LNF were to be tuned by this, aftermarket mods added later may increase the horsepower, at least more substantially than the original setup lol.

Yeah this thread isn't about who tunes better, it's about the features of the software. No need to compare tuning abilities of anyone in here. I appreciate you guys keeping it civil.

i spoke with vince about that exact subject 2 years ago haha.
i'm going to be beta testing this today.
will post more info later/vids and how the car runs.
in theory this should allow for turbo swaps and all that with the on the fly ecm adjustments based off the iat, map and 02 sensors. i'm excited.
too bad our os/ecm doesn't support alcohol o2 sensors or we'd able to go back from e85 to 93 with ease.

I may be misunderstanding what you meant, but I said that your red one would work fine, so no issue.
In my case, I've got LSJ customers and such too, so I can't use the Tactrix, for instance.

our ecms don't have an input for it.

uploaded the ECP tune.
it's still in beta. I'm awaiting to hear back from vince on what he sees as far as results go.
everything idled and started just fine.
here is a video/pull....err as good as I could get it with one hand.
i took a lunch and drove to mexico.

i didn't have any maf issues.
i should have unplugged the pigtail going to the sensor to show that it really wasn't reading off the maf and there was no engine code.
you know...for the naysayers.
i can understand why it runs better though. that po101 would make it run like pewp.

I believe Vince already overcame that issue. While troubleshooting my car he found a table that explained that relationship and can now manipulate the knock sensor sensitivity to a point. He made the tweak on my tune and I haven't had trouble since.
You are referring to the one that tended to come up with respect to using E85 or some big turbos, right?

Knowing what I know about the complexity of the E69 controller in the LNF I am very curious as to how this works. Speed density on an LNF could be done but with 600 tables in the ECM that control fueling it is not like SD tuning a LS series car.
I have seen 8 different LNFs with P0101 codes and in each case the cause of the P0101 was a boost leak. SD tune will just be a bandaid if you have a boost leak.

I haven't been working with Vince on this particular project, so that is my own speculation.

Although this may not be a possibility, we have been toying with the idea of select-a-gas
basically select-a-tune but instead of low boost you'd have 91/93, instead of high boost you'd have E85
#75
...But then we're back to the single tune days effectively. If Vince were to roll that out, he'd be best off to have a second way to switch the fueling so people don't give up their DD-mannered vs. power-focused tune selectability.
