I've added several hundred obd-ii parameters mostly catalytic converter modeling and wrote a few hacks

i wrote some starter anti-grind protection code which disables the starter relay after the engine has been running for a second
kamrf clear patch - resets only the kamrfs and nothing else which is very useful while emulating
isckam clear patch- resets only the isckams and nothing else which is very useful while emulating
alternator max voltage code - dynamically commands the maximum available voltage by commanding +1.0 volt greater than current average but never less than 12.5v, this is very nice as it prevents voltage spikes when commanding a high voltage and the alternator can't keep up and prevents the blower motor from noticeably changing speed as well as the headlights from noticeably changing brightness at tip in. But yet allows the voltage to creep up while steady cruising for better charging.

I took some more PIDs off the processor and polled them in upper memory in stead of shadowing lower registers to speed up datalogging a touch.

next on the list i'll be writing some remote start code to delay pats verification until after the key is inserted so remote start modules can be used without sacrificing security. Im adding a remote start when the weather gets better and don't want any transponders permanently in the vehicle.

New updated definition posted. I also posted my current tune in my marauder as well.

I don’t know what ANY of that means...but CONGRATS!

Meanwhile...my MARAUDER was initially tuned by Jerry W(roblewski who tuned the original Ford Blackhawk/Mercury MARAUDER “mules”.

ALL my other tunes have been performed by Jerry’s protégée, Aric Carrion @Injected Engineering.

She runs like a raped ape when I push the go-pedal...but, is tame as a pussy cat around town.

ENJOY your tune...it REALLY makes a difference in these big sedans.

i detuned my car to run on 87 octane as its a highway cruiser mostly. In fact I drove her 7.5hrs from new orleans to port lavaca texas and will be driving her another 5 hrs in a few hours for a round trip to houston.

Yes the stock tune is pretty crappy ob these cars. I literally put a quarterhorse in my marauder the day I got it.

Do you plan on going to any races on the east coast? Maybe Mod Nats on Nov 15-17? Or No Mercy next weekend? Prolly not. I thought S. GA was a little closer for you.
