I don't agree with that. While the E-Manage is pretty good, it still has to fight the ECU when the O2 sensor is running closed loop. The ECU is going to try and adjust it to the factory preset conditions except at full throttle.

As far as tuning is concerned, you can use your desktop. You can use a booster for the signal since you may need to run a long cable. I've seen a USB to Cat5 cable converter which gets converted back to USB so you can extend the signal a bit longer. You won't be able to datalog and realtime tune on the road, but you can make adjustments while parked at home. I've done mothing more than use the injector change feature in the support tool to run 370 cc injectors. Someone on the E-Manage Mailing list just said they are running 50lb injectors just fine with it as well.
