Dennis, I have had the fast system for 4 years. In my opinion, it is better to drive tha car and tune it on the fly than use a dyno. The reason is that you can datalog full power pulls at 100 mph or better. At these speeds, the load your motor will see and the airflow around the air cleaner are different than a rear wheel or engine dyno. Also, all the tip in acceleration is dependent on gear ratio, car weight, traction and load. A dyno does not simulate this as well as driving the vehicle under real conditions. It is pretty simple to do, but having someone ride along with a laptop is very helpful. Scott
