For example,..
How about you select NOS as an option and then you have a lower set option to choose from for Timing.?? Of course you will need an override selection for those who just have to blow chit up.

Just a way to fuel based on spool. Turbo rpm works too. I know I'm way out in left field, but that's where I like to stay =)

I want a button that just makes it all come out perfect.

Why not do it like EFI Live and have 5 tunes to switch? Have one be a nitrous tune with less timing if you need it.
Kinda like a full blown data logger, eh?
Ah, I see. Something like how an AFC housing was supposed to function?
Like this? :hehe:

is there a limit to all sensors/parameters that can be logged/scanned?

No there is not, I believe Brandon is asking what features people would like to see in tuning software that is not available now...
Am I right?

Exactly. Trying to get a good feel with what the manufacturers should implement before the two that are coming out hit the market.

I would have kill for one of those easy buttons when I was learning how to use EFIlive on my duramax. 
For a standalone there are lots of things that would be nice but to sum it all up I'd just want it able to do everything efilive on the duramax but do it right. Just because you have a program that will do something doesnt mean it does it right as many of us have learned tuning on the dmax. I think with a completely standalone computer it will however be much easier since there are no hidden tables that may affect many different things.

Make sure its compatible with the latest operating systems, getting tired of having to buy old Win Xp computers or dual boot so I can tune with dinosaur stuff. I know EFI will work with the latest windows but most other software and hardware does not.
Or something else that hasn't been tried: set the ecm up so that it can get feedback directly from a dyno like the dynojet power commander piggyback boxes do. So if the ecm can get feedback directly from the dyno then a program can be developed to automatically tune for power. Its pretty wild the stuff the dynojet program can do, even individually mapped cylinders. Its a wide open field for who ever can step up to the plate and bring the diesel world in line with the gasser world.
That's kind of where the a/f ratio comes in. Sure we can look at the tailpipe, but that leaves us with only qualitative not quantitative data.
