SWEET I'll check into it!

Did I miss pics of Sterlings engine?

Give DR a call for pricing and availability.

Oh yeah... DR annouced the new SharkTuner 2.0. ~$950 with 2 PEM modules! Oh yeah, it's USB, not serial.

Bill, it's a little device with a vacuum line attached. What it does is sense boost (I think it's 1psi or so) and forces the LH to switch to the WOT map.

Maybe he has angry headlights.

And I'm hoping you mean Headlights when you're saying Headlights.

It is a switch with a vacuum line attached tied-in to the idle/WOT circuit that switches the WOT circuit closed when boost rises above ~1 PSI (it is adjustable.)

The effect that we were looking for is to nuke the 02 loop from orbit when we transition to boost. With some Shark Tuning, this means than you can now tune for 12.6 (or whatever) air fuel ratios from 0 to N PSI regardless of whether your foot is actually on the floor. Even better you can also add in some more timing for partial boost (assuming you've previously bladed-down timing to reduce knock under partial boost.)

The end effect - with diligent tuning - will be better and safer power under partial throttle / partial boost.

The final design is a result of D.R. having a "light-bulb" moment after quite some time of experimenting with less-simple and more-expensive designs.

It is easy to install. I added it to my car today and did so without having to cut any wires.

They're mine (Rod) and it's a mystery to me. I got them new off ebay (for almost nothing relatively speaking) and that was the color of the interior reflector...

I think they would look better on one of the red ones, but I like the H4's on the one I drive the most.

Good to meet you, Rod U.
Great to put cars/faces to web personalities.

Hope they get the LH computer stuff all sorted out.
And you guys disappeared so long for that tune run on Sunday thought you guys had gone to Mexico or something. (he's got a twinscrew car so that's totally possible)

Thank you again to Dave, Jeannie and rest of the gang for putting on another outstanding SITM!

Met some great 928's and I got to see some old friends. So many great people and cars to match.

Carl, Jim and I got some decent seat time on the way back!

Stirling's car, wow!

Pardon my language, but it is freaking gorgeous.
I am not sure we got to meet each other or not.

The same Wayne who didn't win the crossbar? Didn't recognize it from the side.

Here's a picture of your car going up to the meadows - just in front of provider-of-beer/breaker-of-relays. A bit blurry thru the windshield.
