Tuning '90 vette for boost with CCM comms

[90Vette]

I have a 1990 Corvette, which has the 1227727 running $8D. I'm looking at tuning it for boost, but I can't find an option that preserves the ECM-CCM communications required in '90-'91 vettes for some dash displays (and possibly ABS/climate control).

I'd really like to have more functionality than stock, such as being able to run flex fuel or use a wastegate to control boost based on gear/alcohol content/etc.

I see a few options:

• Upgrade the hardware (standalone/EBL Flash) and either replicate CCM comms or somehow leave the 727 connected for this functionality. No one seems to know what the datastream to the CCM looks like, and I have no idea how I'd run the stock ECM in parallel with a standalone.
• Add a RAM chip to my ECM and hack $8D to make it do what I want. Toooooons of work.
• Flash $58 or $59. Edit: this CF post says that $58 and $59 won't work.
• Use it as-is with a 2-bar MAP sensor. Not considering this.

Can anyone comment on this?

have you tried contacting rbob about CCM comm? it says it may be implemented if enough demand for it. perhaps he needs a test bed for it?
