Just so that you know, I wouldn't mind (infact I'd like to) drive to Atlanta to meet with you for this. If you would ever like, let me know. I can come down and stay there wednesday night through monday morning, at a time... My offer will stand for some time. Either way, good luck.

fianally a way to watch the datstream, this could also make diagnosing problems easier as well. Very nice setup.

Ahmet, I'll keep it in mind. Also, there is a good chance I'll be visiting Raleigh soon. Time to catch up with old friends..

One more feature that will be handy for the power hungry (TonyG are you there?). Data Log, export to a CSV (Comma Seperated Values) file. Make changes (Cam, Turbo,...) Data Log, Export to CSV file.
Now import both CSV files into excell and graph the values you need.. Some values can be a good indication of how well your mods are working (or not).

Shaheed, I sent you a PM. I'll probably start testing in couple of weeks. Actually it might be interesting to datalog and perhaps figure out the idle problem by looking at the different data values...

Wow!
That looks great!

How exactly do you get the data?
Do you just tap some wiring harness into the DME harness, and then plug it into your laptop?

I'm definately interested!

hmmm... time to move to Atlanta!

Looks great, can't wait to see this hit the marketplace. I currently have the Lindsey MAF with the Power Perfect controller, will that be compatible?

Regards,

Will it possible to have a metric version when you finish your product ??? Don't want to convert Farenheits to Celsius. Also prefer bar instead of psi

Scott H, yes it will work. The only requirement now is to use the custom chips we will provide. The new chips are totally redesigned.. You get dual tuning maps... Semi-Batch yes Semi-Batch injection which allows you to use large injectors and not worry about bad idle (especially when cold)...
I'll look into the Metric version, maybe in future release...

Glad to see you are proceeding forward with this.
What will be the min requirements for a laptop?

Laptop must have USB port and disk space for logging not sure on minimum CPU speed as it's affected by your OS and other tasks running on the machine. I tested it with 400Mhz laptop, will test it with 233Mhz.. The slowest laptop I have.
