Yeah B, The megasquirt is a hell of a machine. The software is opensource so what you get is not necessarily what it has to be. If you were so inclined or had connections you could have individuals reprogram the software to be better suited/more user friendly/out of this world program ability, etc. It all depends on the LOE (level of effort), and aforementioned knowledge. I have enough knowledge to sit down and do it... but time is a biggggg factor for me. I don't have the time to sit down and solder the components together and then re-program the machine code and datalogging software, trouble shoot the bugs, etc. and still have my car together in time for my internship and/or school.

The benefit of the Megasquirt is that it's only limited by ones knowledge and ability to alter the hardware and software.
