CentOS - May 2005 - Car Performance Tuning

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

List,

I googled on this, and despite getting some hits (due more to the
terms performance and tuning I think than anything) I was unable to
locate useful links for actual software.

I'm seeking software that will run on CentOS (or really any linux
install period) that will assist me in testing and tuning my
vehicle. I'm involved in import racing and would like to glean as
much information from my car as possible while making modifications.
Any ideas?

Sincerely

It really depends on what you're tuning.  If you're into Audi/VW/Porsche
I might be able to give you a hand.  Drop me a note off-list.  However, 
none of the available tools I've seen run under Linux.  They're all 
Windows-based programs.

Also, be *really* careful messing around with engine management 
software.  Seemingly innocuous changes can cause a dramatic (and 
expensive) amount of damage if you don't know what you're doing.

Good luck!
