Default power level tunes??

i was thinking about something, i dont know if theres such a thing like that, i thought this would be the best place to post it in, it might be interesting for some of you. i thought maybe putting two pcms in a vehicle where both are connected but only one working at a time so you basically switch between them, you let PCM 1 be a good tune which saves fuel by putting less power or something and PCM 2 would be a performance tune.
Is there such a thing like that, is it possible to make somthing like that?

Full throttle tuning is done in power enrichment mode. Drivablity tuning is done out of PE mode. Keep your foot out of it and and you have the best of both worlds. I can see no point in have dual pcm's.

According to a good source I can have 2 tunes (up to 6) from one VCM by hardwire and switch. I am investigating having my Nitrous Activation switch wired so that it will complete circuit when the "nitrous" tune is activated.
Will reveal more later.

you will be stacking up to 6 completely different tunes in one PCM,
you are adding more chips (circuits) into the PCM and than adding separate tunes to each chip

I plan on just one extra switchable tune. One that will arm the n2o when active so that I can have my street tune and then the one for the gas...with the failsafe that the nitrous cannot accidentally be activated. Haven't sat down and figured all the specifics yet, just thoughts.
