Ignition could possibly be converted to a 'Max advance' setting, but fuel/air ratio is next to impossible unless you can provide a full load map, which is going to be too complex for most people.

If you just specify a single a/f ratio, is that the one that's meant to apply to hard acceleration, highway cruising, idle? What about when on boost vs off boost? WOT vs half throttle? The concept of giving an abstract 'general mixture' figure isn't perfect, but it gets across the intent OK without the need to provide a full map.

It'll be changing to a "power" and a "cruise" mixture setting in future, but still not too complex

If you look at the "Cold Steel Taxi" video you will notice that the flywheel on the Extra Large V8 goes through the dynamometer power measuring thing. This is an issue that should be adressed.
