He has been running 5W-50 since he put the Whipple on. I asked him the other day what weight he was running.

At the end of the video you can see where they send the short block to L&M to be looked at. The results are in the next video that has not been released.

One thing Dorian said in this video near the end that is very important, he didn't even know he hit the limiter until he looked at the logs later. Does anyone know how is he logging his data?

That's what I figured....They seem to be the standard. Looks like you need 4 credits for a 18...Is that correct?

Thanks.

Sct is very pay play with the bdx now.

And hptuners is the only one that can edit and use the whipple tune, Which is the only way oz tunes these 2018’s.

Pay to play is the new software model. It started with M$ and and Office 365. As a guy that makes a living writing software I get it. It's painful though to be on the other end of it.
