The show was great, I think. Lots of neat cars and new products. Not many

Hey Skip ... great pics. Thanks for posting them. I really wanted to make it this year but family commitments kept me home. Bob went and said there are some incredible things coming for our cars (944 platform) Incredible new turbos / engine management systems & Suspension just to name a few.

Really??? Do tell...

I say something like: "so, any of your stuff support earlier Porsches, specifically 944's?" They reply "Nine-fourty-who?"

Maybe he was talking to MSD or Accel for management, Turbonetics for Turbos, and In-trax or Pro-trac for suspension? Anything from HKS? I didn't get a chance to talk to them. MSD seems to be very heavy on engine management options to come... though geared more toward the import tuner folks. From discussions elsewhere, look for complete systems (all the bells and whistles) including crank trigger and coil packs, and very cool software with bench dyno gizmos for sub $500... coming soon (ya right!)
