    I for example would love to have switchable tuning. Sometimes I like to drive in stock or a mileage tune that cuts back on boost. I would love to be able to switch between tunes whenever a Honda pulls up next to me

    A Honda! pick on someone your own size
    But that is one of the scenarios people want to be able to switch tunes.

    A smoke-less tune and a smoke-full tune.= mileage and a 1/4 mile tune.

    You would think so but not necessarily.. I can get better mileage with a PPE lvl 6 tune (350hp rated) than with the stock tune. Timing and boost tables are the same only thing different is the fuel. Wider pulsewidth and higher commanded mm3s More fuel with more mileage???

    I can think of at least a couple possible scenario for having switchable tunes.

    How about for valet parking or anti-theft? Hide the switch where it's not easily found and then program a tune with very little power and speeds no higher that 10 - 15 MPH. That should make for a very slow getaway if someone wants to go for a joyride or steals the truck.

    Another one would be if you need to let someone else drive your truck, you could restrict speed to no higher than 65 MPH or something like that.

    Of course, having that killer tune handy for the times when the punk in the hot Mustang decides to show off to his girlfriend would be real nice too.

    Ross, I'm sure this is a very broad question but how do guys figure this stuff out? It amazes me how you guys came up with the DSP5 switch, how did you find which pins did what and how to incorporate the software? It baffles me to how smart you guys are.
