Can car be ran on just ostrich 2.0?
I have been thinking about getting a set up to tune my car but cant afford to get everything at once. Also i want the emulator so im not burning chip after chip trying to get my tune right. Will the emulator keep the tune i program without the laptop plugged in? can i just buy a emulator and get software for now?

Yes, that's how my car has been running for over a year.

I believe Mr.Moates said the battery's in the Ostrich should last about 75 years. I'm not joking, I could have swore I read that.

Just a question. What if the Ostrich is disconnected on purpose or accidental? Does the Ostrich hold the data after disconnected? So just plug in and all is well?

Yes, the Ostrich will hold the bin without being connected to anything (ECM or personal computer).
