Incorporating plain old battery voltage could be useful for those of us who spend lots of time with the engine off and could be done with a couple resistors.

I'm not sure about "generic" analog display, maybe, just haven't thought about it. but the existing analogs might be menu configurable to specific sensors.

Some sort of o2 reading could be very useful, especially if your car has a wideband.

Incorporating map+rpm/maf/throttle readings can also be informative.

coolant temp maybe too, but at some point you should use a laptop to correlate/display all the data.

Still cdA/cRR seems like the most enabling feature to me plus it is simplest to implement (no extra circuitry required). It's just hard for me to get excited about a clock (though I'm glad the main loop timing is proving accurate).
