There's a writeup somewhere on this forum for paralleling the grounding signals, and accomplishing the same thing, although if Matt can offer it at a decent price, it could be pretty popular.

That would make it more like a DP-Tuner, which some may find funny considering the source.

But it also goes back to, how many tunes do you really use or need after the newness wears off?

Looks good, I would get Beans tunes if I could get my fingers on one of those, or make one.

Nice job Matt, here is the thread I was trying to recall from JTHarvey, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...-the-chip.html

I like your "all-in-one" 7 segment display though!

Cool link Al. There was another thread somewhere, i cant find it, where a guy gutted a gauge, installed a black face to it with 6 holes. Evry setting, depending on which one, lit up that many led's.
