Hi, anyone know what would be involved (hardware/software) in getting the ECU and possibly the (auto) transmission controller interfaced to a PC laptop running windows or something.

It is embarassing to have this cool red car and be beat at the traffic light by a ford taurus with about 5 ppl in it. However the tranny fluid lo...
