[s-cars] Current Confirmation list for ECU software GP and I. A. VS MTM

[Peter Anderson]

I share James' point of view here.  I have been on this list for well over
two years and while I have heard of the "Lehman" software, I have never
heard any mention of where / how to obtain it.  As for "binary" performance,
my car (stock motor & software) feels that way now.  If the MTM 1+ feels
similar -just faster, then I'll take it.  If your suggesting that IA will
improve low end torque I'm skeptical but willing to hear more from those
with first hand experience.  Is that what you are saying Chris? If Ned is
not willing to part with his 3-bar sensors except for those who want full
bore turbo mods then he has effectively separated himself from my money
unless he can explain how I get the same performance w/o it.  Let's see some
dyno graphs.  He should note that I live at sea level and there is plenty of
dense air to pump into the combustion chambers - no need to worry about
altitude compensation her in Portland Maine.  I am presently not interested
in changing my turbo as I do not want the torque curve I saw in the dyno
graph from the nationals (Mance's car).  I have no plans to take my car to
the track.  I just want more usable street / highway power and no, I'm not
talking about stoplight drag races.  I would like to hear more from those
that have driven both.
