Bobby , as you get older you will realize that all the really good things are illegal. You know , removing the cats , reprogramming , dark side , the list goes on and on. Personally , the more illegal it is the more I like it!

"Removing the cats"is illegal?
Damn, I know a lot of people who are going to be in trouble.
They are a p i t a here so everyone just traps them and dumps them in the country.:icon_lol:

I'm going to make sure mine is off the road if and when I do anything illegal. That's not to say I will. As usual this is a disclaimer about any illegal activities against anything or anybody.

I just tightly roll it up and tape it to the mattress.:shhh:
When my friends come over they look at it and think I am a bad a$$!
When the Mattress Tag Inspecting Police show up checking tags,I can just untape it and let it back out.:icon_lol:

I only worry that I might show them the wrong tag for the mattress they are looking at.....Hummmm reminder to self, next time bored and nothing to do put numbers on stored mattress tags with corresponding numbers on mattress.:lolup:

OEM makers already have the ability to lock their software, and some do (Chrysler and Honda for example) while others continue to allow access (Chevy and Harley for example).

There's a few different sides to this coin, and one of them is the fact that there isn't a lot of room for divergence in a modern engine calibration. OEM's and their factory tunes have squeezed every last ounce of fuel economy and performance from these engines; the only "slop" left in the tune is intentional in order to allow operation in any environment worldwide (hot, cold... high, low... humid, arid... etc). In other words, there is very little performance to be gained by re-calibrating a modern stock engine.

Locking the software is silly IMO. OEM's are concerned about people mucking with it and damaging their vehicles... but it's extremely easy to know if software has been altered; and if so, the OEM would have every right and reason in the world to deny warranty and service. So why lock it up in the first place and make yourself into a perceived unfriendly-to-the-customer company.

Some of you guys may be a little unbalanced. I'm glad I'm normal.
