If the definition of being lame has to do with the divisor being settable, then fear not, as it's still not lame The divisor is settable to whatever the user defines. However, for some reason-- just the Dash2 (i.e. not the DL-1) runs out of "capacity" after about 80mph at your 29p/min. It has plenty of capacity for "normal" wheel speed sensors, it just runs short with such a high pulse rate. For instance at ~16 p/min, it will log odo readings to 160mph, at 8 p/min it will register up to 320mph and so on. Most non-ABS wheel speed sensors trigger 1-4 p/min so it's not an issue in *most* cases. No doubt that a firmware update could probably cure the glitch, but the fact is that it's simply not a big issue. Short of myself and John, I don't think anyone has attempted such "drastic" mod on the stock dash.... or those that have, haven't finished it, so why the fuss?? It's a killer mod (IMO) with hardly any strings attached.... and is certainly not lame...

Best,

Phil
