The Windows stuff is a no go for me.

Also I see a lot about the WBO2 on the nets but I am failing to understand.
Are you guys using the WBO2 on old ECMs in closed loop or as a tuning aid with an external meter/gauge ?

From GM ECM repair school back in the early 1980s I understood that the O2 inputs on the ECMS are Hardware preset low and high thresholds set around the narrowband 14.7 response. I thought that the O2 signal is sampled at a software preset rate and after a software preset number of samples Hi or LOW it increases or decreases the block learn for that map/rpm cell.
Is the WBO2 functioning in these systems ?
Good question on using the Ostrich 2.0 with Linux. I have not used Linux. It appears Linux using "Wine" is an option for using TunerPro (http://forum.tunerpro.net/viewtopic....e06f5c2346242e). Wine information (https://www.linux.com/LEARN/how-inst...ications-linux).

WBO2 is a data tool only. WBO2 it is a tuning aid with an external meter/gauge . WBO2 data has been "hacked / reverse engineered" to stream real time into a data log. The WBO2 data in the data log Does Not affect or control BLM, the factory O2 sensor is still needed to control BLM fueling. Having the WBO2 data stream real time in the data logs, allows for frame by frame or sample by sample comparison of the Air Fuel Ratio for any given MAP / RPM cell.

The best use for WBO2 tuning is for Acceleration Enrichment aka AE (Carburetor Pump Shot) and Power Enrichment aka PE (4 barrel Carburetor Secondary opening up). The TBI computer will lock the BLM's at 128 when fueling for AE & PE. Imagine how awesome it would be to tune a carburetor for 12.5 Air Fuel Ratio, when the 4 barrel secondary opens up. Imagine using a laptop instead of changing jets to adjust for 12.5 Air Fuel Ratio! Imagine how awesome it would be to tune a carburetor to have the 4 barrel secondary open up at 50% or 60% or 70% or ??% Throttle Position with a laptop! Imagine how awesome it would be to know what the carburetor Air Fuel Ration is at WOT. I don't imagine these things, I data log with WBO2 to SEE Exactly what those Air Fuel Ratios are.

The second generation TBI computer (#16197427) is my TBI computer of choice. R.I.P 122774 http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...out-Directions!

It's fair for me to mention, I'm an EFI Tuner and Custom EFI Harness builder (aka Old School EFi LLC).
