Oh yes there is - typing in maps on a PC for a user programmable EFI!  :-)

BTW, I drove the Q to Buffalo and back today, and although I took some
tools, I didn't take any spare parts!  The EFI ran like a charm all the
way.  The 3" exhaust system was perfectly comfortable from a noise level
standpoint - my wife didn't even notice the engine noise at all.  I got
pretty decent mileage considering the speed (Flint-Buffalo in 4 hours flat
- you do the math), and I dusted a few cars that didn't really understand
what was happening.  :-) My buddy with the new BMW 740i was very impressed
with the power of the 5KCSTQ, and his previous reference was a 300ZXTT
Nissan.
