I guess this kind of answers my question... re:"what do I get if I go 
with IA/TAP/SC etc.. that I cant do myself"  Well, it seems nothing. 
Superchips does exactly what I did for about 1 buck, TAP is the same, and 
the only one in question is NED. Ive heard from many people that its 
great and Ive heard from many people that its terrible, so go figure! If 
anyone has dumped his code, please post results. (Just dumping it 
shouldnt be a copyright infringement if there are any..)
THanks
