After setting up with a bunch of wires / sensors and hooking the device up to the rear hubs we were ready to go .They are fully equipped and with everything in place it'll tell you plenty - pretty much with the exception of when lunch will arrive .

What did we learn? It showed me the car had the wrong headers - by changing to another set he had showed power we gained.Then it told of the wrong injectors .And there was a fuel pressure issue that came to light .I would love to tell you some of the other items David came across thru trial and error but i'm sure some of my competitors are listening .

From what I could tell this equipment is first class stuff and they are proud to have it .I'd love to share the numbers with our members but there is no point to bragging till I get my baby on the track .Also I'm sure many of you are wondering what the cost would be but I haven't receive my tab yet - and I've known them to be fair.

Does this mean that they are able to simulate the full 1/4 mile pass?
