During the evolution of computerized controls...the first had volatile memory
Now disconnecting the battery will NOT erase memory and it will remember what

warranty work like so many out there and here providing advice: "sure you can...
I have been doing it for decades with no problems"
Read up and learn how these modifications 'can' increase torque and therefore HP
How that then reduces margins and longevity. How to then redesign (if it can be)
to accommodate those modifications or mitigate to gain back 'some' of the margin
