Bullydog needs to add features!! Suggestions?

I have the Tripledog and am disappointed in the lack of features offered compared to the Smarty or Diablo. It is infuriating to pay almost twice as much as a diablo predator for a tripledog then not be able to adjust for tire size, rev limit, axle ratio, shift points, torque converter lock-up, etc. And, not to mention the mileage increase is rather lack luster runnning around empty. And no, I don't think I should have to look at the "outlook monitor" to see how fast I'm going. The speedometer is an electronic unit as far as I know, so why can't it be adjusted like the ones in ford Mustangs? I can't imagine it would present a big programming problem. I'd rather have these features than being able to disable torque management(which seemed slower than having it in the factory "on" mode) or low end power mode (which eats fuel and burns tires not to mention being really twitchy in bumper to bumper traffic. Other than that, it is fun, till I refuel at $2.75 a gallon ULSD! Yes, we are still getting screwed on diesel in nw Florida! Any ideas on if my suggested changes are going to ever be released?
