yes you can run 2 maps mate,,,, but you have to have a switch board put in the ecu etc,,,,

speak to tom scarlet as he is having it done & knows all the details

I'm using two maps for both fuel and spark that I can change at a flick of a switch. A standard feature on proper managements

I wouldn't bother.

Race fuel is sooo expensive, that for track days, it'd cost a small fortune!

For the benefit you'd get as a track day goer, I'd rather spend the money on something else to make it go round corners faster.
