Rather then one person doing this solo again we have a team of some of the best guys other there working on this each doing what they do best.

Example of the Avt 852 and a J 2534 tool both reading a 512K pcm.

For tuning..... there are a couple of guys working on Xdf's. Right now coverage is limited but that's changing fast. Once again this hasn't fallen onto one person to try and do but a group of people working together with one common goal. 100% Free flashing with cheap hardware. We are getting pretty close to being able to release the read side of this, once we are happy with how it works and will start on the write side of the tool.

I understand that, but the more accurate history of the DIY LS1 tool is that those who successfully do it, commercialise it and the DIY community is left again without a tool. A good indication of that is YouTube videos of a tool working as opposed to usuable versions of the software, or transparency on the code etc.

I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but for the time and money spent on something that may or may not finish, a commercial option that has been tested and verified by the market may be a better option for some.
I'm biased as I tried the cheap alternatives and was burnt, I'm just letting the OP know my experiences and helping them to not walk the same expensive path I did.
