Okay, thanks. I'm going to try to dig up more info on this from my service rep. It's certainly an interesting topic.

No worries, drop Mihnea or Doug a line at MRC http://www.mrctuning.com/index.php?o...news&Itemid=18 not sure how much they'll be able to give away on the technical side but they're good guys and sure to help with any questions.
