Congrats Darby. Wish I had your persistence at tunning. I just keep mine running. 😉
I spent some time with Chris Sikorski yesterday about my LM2 . He's running one. When we put mine in his car it would not work. Innovate told me it was OK after sending it back twice!!!!
FWIW: I ran a PB at Cecil yesterday. Damn wind blew my time slips away so I can't post it.😕
Ran a [email protected]. Figure it was fat but don't have your pertinence for tuning.
Your 9's are around the corner.

The track is unbelievable, and only going to get better! I just need to find optimum launch rpm and tire pressures yet. Thinking it likes the higher rpm's but so hard to hold it on line, and it raises car loosing front end travel to get weight on back sooner too.. might be better to go lower and flash it harder to hit tires harder..

So are you thinking you might need a converter tweak now? Just curious.

Awesome! I never made it there n/a, but I'm confident you will.

I noticed this when I watched your video. It comes up in the front and back. I'll check some of my videos but I'm pretty sure mine doesn't move when I stall it up to 2500.
