Default Tuner choice

I have an 05 track only race car and I want to delete some of the nannies that give me headaches. I want to delete the key fob requirement. It sometimes will not start on pit road or after a spin. battery is good and most of the time it works fine but it has to go. Another item is the tire pressure system. When it sees and issue it limits the speed to 55 mph and it is a safety issue when racing. I don't mind a light coming on but I want to stop the 55 limit. The next item is with the 05 you have to shift into reverse to turn it off. I would like to delete this requirement. Last issue is with traction control. After I turn it off a system failure with turn it back on. Again I don't mind the light but I do not want it to turn back on when a failure is detected.

Do any of the hand held units do all of these and if not a hand held which tuner equipment will do all of these? I have looked at HP tuner and other web sites and they do not go into details on what it will change. I see lots on fuel/timing but nothing on the changes I want to make.

Thanks

handhelds will not...

and the tuning software will not do all of that either - such as the TPMS system... that's not engine/tranny (ECM/TCM) related, that's a BCM/ABS module issue, that the tuning software does not have anything to do with... so you won't be able to do anything about that...
