JR - Ha, I wish...not quite so lucky.

Had to "fake out" some of the SES circuitry. There are many sensors that are redundant in function (CAN Bus versus Analog) or split upstream and run through a ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and manipulated digitally pushed out a bus or run through a DAC and out. That way about 90% of the DIC computer/display functionality works. Even the factory TPS sensors in the wheels still read pressure through the DIC.

We do this stuff all the time since we work with commercial and military avionics down here daily.

Bruce,

It was great to meet you. I look forward to getting a ride in your Speedster at CamaroFEST III.

It was great meeting you too Pete. You are the real deal...

Also, I had mentioned that if I can not get this "other" set of coilovers to clear properly I may want a set like Dan has on his car since his does clear 18 x 12.5 rims which are the exact dimensions on the SST.

OK, I understand PARTS of that. Can each computer run independently of the others? The trans. computer is totally independent? And I guess the injector timing doesn't need to know pressure, and vise versa?

This helped me along a little if anyone else wants to give it a shot LOL

Just so happened you hit me at the right time for me to run the course again. I wish I would have seen Chris or PQ so I could show them as well what their car is *really* capable of...

Pete took me down the track in the Impala, and I thought that was crazy! I can't imagine your car or even the Hankook Camaro

That was one bad axx 43K Impala

Did you and yours design the system in the SST? Or was it a joint effort with Nelson? If there's any of this you'd rather not talk about, just say so. Either proprietary or just having to explain to noobs like me how a complex system works

Yes...

We can neither confirm nor deny the system design.

The aliens landed in Roswell in 1947. They were transported to Area 51. It still hasn't been declassified

I have been to Area 50 and Area 52 and there is no Area 51. At least that you know of. Strange thing... I didn't see any Camaro's there either but I am thinking they were cloaked. Nelson has the patent on that too.

It indeed was. The window was down and my hat flew off on the straight away. Good thing Rob was next to me and caught it. If not It would have ended up somwhere out on the autocross.
