Question Picked up a star SDS have a few questions about mods, anyone with knowledge?

Just picked up this setup from another member that sold his car. Setup came with laptop, Multiplexer, serial to OBDII and RS232 cables. The software is version 7/2011 (2011-06-15) includes Xentry, EPC, WIS, etc.

I'm not having any warning lights, I just decided to purchased it to do the basic mods (lowering, change to 93 octane, etc). If there is anyone that can PM me with what else I might consider changing/modding with the SDS please provide me with any knowledge or feedback you might be able to give.

Mods would have to pertain to my 03 SL55

211 section, but gives you an idea of what we can do with SDS. Some of the mods convey...
