precisely ...  Sandy's pushing the 332, and I like the thought of
playing with the hardware and the software .... it's been a long
time since I've really designed any hardware or wrote any "useful"
software .... too much time in academia (if you can call a Community
College "Academia"  ;-)

but, time constraints (and, of course, dinero) necessitate a more
pragmatic evaluation of the project .... hence my continuing desire
to take an existing (i.e. oem) hardware platform and either modify
its code or completely re-code it.  Methinks modifying the code
might not ever give the desired results as there's probably too
much epa overhead in it, but then the design of a new set of algorithms
might be too time intensive -- especially since I don't have a chassis
dyno to check things out with (course, this same argument can be made
if just doing mods to the oem software) so ....  ??
