Here's the link to the site below. So now we know of three places that
"tweak" ECUs. Rimmers (apparently), Stunned Buffalo, and Mark Adams
(Tornado Engine Management systems) and we have some direct information
from Kent about Stunned Buffalo. Kent, can you tell us more? What's
in your car, what year, etc etc... how much was the upgrade, etc etc.
Curious minds want to know. Have any idea what was done?

Curious because I know a lot about the 4CU and have been dying to try
some things out (ever try running an early TR8 FI car at 7000 feet
above sea level?) but may not if I can just ship it off to someone and
have it "tweaked" ...
I smell the necessity for a FAQ entry here for the WWWedge, or at least
an article for the TR8CCA...
