Has anyone ever discussed a microcontroller that controlled the clutch, injection and throttle allowing for say, a "pulse/glide" button (unkill, engage clutch- throttle up to 75% until speed is +3 mph and then "glide" (throttle down to idle, disengage clutch, kill until speed is -3 mph, repeat)? Like someone just said, if it were cycled quick enough, to perhaps maintain speed +- 3-5 mph it would "pass" as "normal".
