Steve,

At this point I am looking to consider all options that are software-based solutions that allow bidirectional control so a certain degree. I would like to be able to pulse injectors, partially open the EGR,
actuate the ABS modulator, etc. Are you saying the autoenginuity will do these things? It doesn't appear that that's the case according to what I have seen on their website. I appreciate your feedback and
I will continue to hunt. I assumed (foolishly) that there would be a really thorough comparison online somewhere but as of yet, I am unable to locate such a beast. I googled till my teeth fell out (so I thought).

Thanks again!
Andrew.
