As far as getting access to the firmware, you are insane (not as much of a compliment)
Ah, nevermind. If you say that one click of the button is 7.5% overall, that's exactly what I need.

If you have V1.04 of the Classic Vari-cool software or later you can use the prime button. There is a box where you can put the dutycycle in. You can actually keep changing the numbers from 1 to 100 and see what the pressure is for each one.
Okay, I'll test the system. The good thing is that I already have a GM 130 psi fuel pressure sensor hooked to my W/I system, so I can already see the pressure, but it's really non-constant when under WOT: the readings are all over the place. I'll need to unhook the injectors and measure.

When we re-design the controller at some point this is one of many things we have planned.
we just designed 2 new controllers (VC2 and CMGS). we have alot of really cool things planned but I cant discuss them yet. The smart controller was the most complex thing we ever did. The software itself took us a year and a half. Its not something that we can just jump in and design there are so many things that must be considered including the small market for this device and the high cost/time of development.
I am really glad you are getting good use. Its hard for me to pick a favorite product that we have, but this is probably the one I am most proud of.
If I did not answer anything good enough let me know.

The Varisafe is pretty cool. It would need some more inputs though. 4 inputs is not enough.
I spent so much time working on my system I can't count the hours now. Every now and then, I find another way to do things and then hack into the wires and add stuff.
I just ordered a flow sensor through Kinetic so that my failsafe system can be complete. Now, I just need to find a way to hook up the VS so that it can drop the turbo toys' DAB setting to DAB 0 or 1 in case of problem. Not that much work and I won't need an external boost controller.
Thanks for the answers!
