Back in my chip burning days, before tunercat came along, I was editing binary files burning a few chips and using an accelerometer to create my data... slow process but as fun as it was challenging.

Who is the person you know of, and what was his "rig"?

What are all of these businesses using for software? All proprietary stuff?

+1 to tuning with a buddy. Add a wideband and alot of time and you get a nice running car. Although, for me, it's a never ending project. It's too easy to tinker.

All of the companies selling DME flashes are using proprietary software.

Motec has drive by wire and variocam control capability, so if you want to go $$$ and don't have to worry about OBDII emissions checks, you could go that route.

In the end though, there's not much to be had with just tuning on these engines without other modifications.
