We'll be merely making a copy of the original oem program, zeroing out the fuel values, turning off the O2 sensor feedback(it will read but not adjust), and ramp timing. In gasoline mode everything will function as normal, no check engine lights, and will pass an diagnostics check via the check plug...however we don't have emissions here yet..
My friend that does the tuning can do up to 3 "maps" per chip, turbo, nitrous, VTEC, intake air butterfly's, propane injection(used before intercooler in boosted applications)...it's all adjustable and tuneable....even a ballet parking mode that only allows 20% throttle and 3000rpm rev limit
Sounds like you've got yourself a tuner there!

I used to do multi-maps for OBD-0 ECU's, with a rotary switch to choose which map the driver wanted. The whole setup cost like $50 at the time, and I could get up to $200 just to set it up, then they'd go pay someone else to fine tune each map for a given situation.
