| Really need to find out what our Mitchel ondemand password is.. Then I could have just looked the specs up. But TGO did have a scan of the ccc qjet tuning section of some manual stickied. Surprised they dont get sued for that. |

Actually, TGO has a lot of awesome info. You just have to be good at searching for it.
Fortunately, I'm really good at finding stuff over there. My method is simple -- I just ask Aaron and he searches for it.  |

The trick with TGO is discerning actual tech from the bulls**t and utter nonsense "tech".
There have been intelligent people who have posted things on there, but you can't even go off of which user posted it because there are so many guys over there fighting to be a "tech guru" to the unwashed masses that you get them talking out of their ass, and because no one there is smart enough to figure it out it's all just accepted as fact. For instance when I was burning chips for my IROC I went back and read a lot of posts from RBob on the 165 stuff. Buit just a few months ago I saw him recommend to some poor kid that he pull out his nice MSD Soft-Touch and just run the hard fuel cut in the chip!
Now you get these "facts" regurgitated back by the newly-enlightened morons to the even less-washed masses and the end result is the biggest example of group-think outside of the Pentagon.
So in conclusion, like anything in life, if you want to learn you have to already be smart enough to smell if what you're learning is bulls**t.  |

| All I needed was specs. Tps minimum voltage and idle mixture dwell setting. So was pretty confident of finding what I needed. Did see one of those specs quoted wrong though lol |
