Ed,
I have a Bluetooth interface that hooks up to the OBDII port under the dash.

That is a basic OBD2 scanner. The new stuff is CAN interface. Scanners don't manipulate code in the ECU. Nothing like what was discussed.

Yep, I know a couple younger racers that run a real quick F-Body...And I have seen the "mechanic" control the pass with a smart phone. Computers are hell.Some of the young racers are genius with those computer controlled cars.

You simply do not know what you are talking about.
Somebody was pulling your leg, or your trying to pull ours.

Mr. Ed,
With todays technology; Why wouldn't it be possible? I don't know if they are really controlling the car..Just what was said and what I saw; Hell I'm computer illiterate: But, the computer geeks say it is possible, and they know alot more about that stuff than you and I do. And no, Ed, I'm not on drugs.

No presently NHRA legal ECU can be done that way. People talking about this are not presently working with this stuff.

Ed,
I do know that; But, who said it is legal? I am sure that the people doing it are sneakin' under the radar. Just like all the other areas that are going un- noticed. I am pretty sure that these computer wizards are getting away with it somehow. It's all relative to the situation. Peace. Hope you do well this weekend.
