my guess is that adding a lot of ignition advance and running true race gas would be worth over 20hp on a stock class car - what do you think? (Harry can join in too!)
I don't know, Chris. It depends on one primary factor - how close to MBT (Min Best Torque - i.e. the least amount of advance they can put in to make the most torque) the factory tune is. If they tuned close to that, then all the race gas and timing in the world won't make more power. What I would EXPECT is that the engines are probably somewhat close to MBT in the higher RPM range, as detonation becomes much less likely at higher RPM (for those that don't know why - flame propagation is a a constant speed, but as the cylinder moves down more quickly, volume increases relative to flame front, reducing the likelihood of a high pressure point that would induce detonation). But at the mid and lower range, there may be more opportunity there.
The one thing I have to mention to Joshua is to be careful making it too tunable. The only reason stock class cars can run aftermarket chips is because of the relative unavailability of stock ones. They are in theory not really supposed to give more power.
The two guys to whom you'd need to talk are Walt Fricke and Dave Derecola. I believe Dave posts here as Cup Daddy.
Finally!!! I've been keeping this secret far too long!!
No mention of the USB ports? Direct logging ( did that get done?)
Need to detail differences.
Ditto to both! Been biting my tongue for a while now. And I am wondering the same thing - integrated Rogue Tuner? Integrated USB port? My footwell is getting pretty crammed!

I am VERY interested. Plan this winter is to keep car mods light (promised the wife the house would get new carpet) so the extent of my work is to rebuild the wiring harness in my car (it's getting really crusty). A fresh DME would make things complete IMO.

Will Bosch EV 14 injectors work with your new board ?
I have not tried the EV14 injectors. But looking at their specs, I see no reason that they wouldn't work with the new computer (with appropriate dead-time).
The injectors I offer with my kits are also high impedance like the EV14s, and they work great.
