Silly question - can a tune be done for each gear??

Just wondering if an ECU tune such as Cobb and or any tune can be done so that performance can be the goal in the lower gears, but economy the priority in 6th.

Does the ecu know which gear you are in??

Showing my ignorance, but would love a tune that gives better cruising economy, but a change (or2) down unleashes the beast!

JB4 and I think procede can provide specific boost limits for specific gears, ie lower boost for 1st/2nd to manage wheelspin.

How much more than that they can do I have no idea

NO
best to leave the car stock if you worry about how much fuel you use.
Most of us don't care how much the fuel burn is, I intend to use more than my fair share before it runs out, or I run out.
