Dave and Rick Y. turned me on to
the Edelbrock Data Acq. as well...
The simplicity of the system from a user
friendly standpoint thus far is tremendous
I have only played some, and have simply
had a blast...
Hoping to have some data to tune from
as well, and not any data that explains
broken parts...
ditto on comments about Tom Bryant
and his prep., record time is to be reported
to you from Glen Barrett relating to elapsed
time between mile markers, not how fast you
can load the trailer and get to tech insp. :)
