As for the abilities that are to be added. It always seemed that Jack has stated anything COULD be added to the system. Question is if the unichips we have are capable of doing what it needs to do.

Cross is there a way you could come up with a unichip tune for e85? I have access to a dyno at my school (Im a physics teacher), but I have no idea how to tune. I'd be willing to help any way you want.
I think I can, I just need to see the software hell just screen shots to see how it logs would give me a base line of what to expect. Like here let me show you what a log screen in HP Tuners looks like:


I wanted one that showed the table you see on the right. That table shows cell's the car has or is driving in. Now above that are options for up to 10+ tables all logging different things like Fuel Trims, Timing, Knock, AFR vs MAF etc etc etc. With those I can take what the computer see's, what I tell it to do in real time and what an outside source like my wideband and put the figures together. I can also tell it to compare the figures the car's ECU and Factory O2's see compared to my Wideband in the same cells.

That system tunes most GM's, Ford and Dodge vehicles. Comes with 10 credits (Costs 2 per vehicle and each credit is 49.99), the cable and software (which is free to DL so you can see what it looks like before owning it, you just can't save any edits you make or flash a tune) and access top a huge forum offering support all for less than 600.00. So to me when I saw the ECUTek and remembered them from NASOC I was blown away at the cost.

The Unichip can be that gap in between and it seems to be a great quality product. But getting your hands on the information needed to make the decision to jump in or not... that's a little harder and I understand why for them but for me I need to know what to expect and well I don't.
However if its anything like Megasquirt (which can also be used as a piggyback or full stand alone) or HP Tuners then yes I can build an E85 tune with some dyno and driving time. I would also share it so long as it did not upset Jack.
