Looks nice, what sort of testing are you going to do with it? - singletrack 2002-06-27 05:51:51 (586 views)

Bottom line for me is what can it do at the track - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 05:56:10 (533 views)

Cool, do you have to reset the ECU when you swap them out for it to adapt? - singletrack 2002-06-27 06:52:24 (1010 views)

I do so prior to racing regardless. - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 06:58:17 (509 views)
