Interesting to hear. I am feeling not very satisfied with CIS on my OB, and trying to decide if I should do what you have done or build a Megasquirt. The advantage of what you have done is that I could sharktune both of my cars, which would justify the investment in a sharktuner. Early days on my OB motor yet. I have less than 50 miles on it so it probably has some loosening up to do and I probably have more tuning to do, but my feeling right now it that the CIS (due to the restriction of the metering plate?) is keeping it from having the top end roar that the S4 and even my Ljet car have. It is nice and smooth on the bottom, but there is just not much launch. This despite Euro S top end. There is a SC waiting to go on here too, and that may cure it...
I'll either copy my 81, go with Autronic or AEM. The #1 reason why I wouldn't copy the 81 is I have a 3rd car (non Porsche) that needs a stand alone too. So one way or the other I'll have two cars with the same system.
The downside to LH 2.2 is you cannot use the new cheaper Shark Tuner. So that adds about $1,000 to the bill. Being able to use it on two cars helps spread that out.

That is classic. My 4 year daughter says this morning after a night out with the bride--Dad we had a lot of fun without you guys last night. Not too mention she pronouces Porsche the correct way too.

Mike Schmidt (Z) and I have been working on my 81 today. Adding some data logging, cleaning up some wires, Shark Tuning / Plotting etc....
Tim Murphy's 8 year old daughter walks up to Mike while he's adding a wire to my battery and asks:
"Did the car just not work, or did it work and you guys did something to make it not work, and now you are making it work again?"
I think she's been hanging around the garage too much.........
