Hello from Norway! (Honda VFR800 2005)

Hello, my name is André and I'm a mechanic (Both hobby and occupation) from Norway. My family runs a repair shop, we primarily do normal car work, but also do a lot of EFI, engine rebuilds, tuning, paint, and bodywork, etc. That's not important, the important part is the EFI, we haven't installed/tuned thousands of ECUs, but well over 100 which isn't a small number (in my opinion). I also have access to a wide array of equipment including a dyno and the ability to have widebands for every cylinder for testing. I'm more than happy to use the equipment and the knowledge I have access to, to help the rusEFI team with testing ECUs and features. I will most likely be installing these ECUs in everything from single-cylinder engines to v8s pushing over 1500hp. We also have a lot of experience installing and tuning EFI, so I doubt there will ever be a problem with that part. If the rusEFI team needs help with testing something let me know, keep in mind I'm not an electronics engineer but I still have a good understanding of both hardware and software.
My current project is a Honda VFR800 from 2005. I purchased a crashed bike which I will be using the engine in a different project. The key was missing so I wasn't able to start it since the bike is a European model and has the HISS immobilizer. I decided on the rusEFI over an original ECU for two primary reasons. Reason one is I want to try the rusEFI system, and second, I might be supercharging the engine.
The best explanation I can give of the vehicle I'm building is a tiny single-seater front-mounted engine vehicle. Think of a giant go-kart with suspension and a front-mounted engine, designed for a much greater speed with much better handling. The entire thing would weigh under 250kg and have roughly 150hp (Supercharged).
As of this moment, I can't share any more information about the project, since there isn't, and me having lack of time isn't helping. So I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update you but will do when there's progress.

launch control I can absolutely test, knock detection also a high chance I could test.
