ahhhhh, this must be the problem I was having @ the track. Close to tha end of the track just as the "L" woud shift (I think) I could feel a slight drop in power. It felt like I had hit a gust of wind head on. This was before I had recieved the PSP chip. I thought that it had something to do with the comptr program & figured the new chip would solve the problem, NOPE still had the same problem after I recieved the chip. Guess my new one (arriving soon Sal??? ) will solve this problem, I swear I am losing .1-.2 @ the track because of this!

Do you think they would allow us to bring our Lightnings in for a chip program upgrade?

Hey tundra,

Looks like I misunderstood the problem. thought it was in the factory CPU.

How long does it take to get those square tires rounded off......

Hey Guys
It is not a problem. They knew the timing was being pulled out and it was done for a very good reason (I don't need to explain that). Was going to write more but stopped!
