Just like Kurt said 
you can hear it in this vid
http://stenodracing.com/news/092005/MIR-Qual2.wmv
We were playing with a delay going from one RPM setting to the other, as there's a bit of delay on the t-brake activation with the 400 we had in the car at the time. That's why it jumps and deep stages. Having to make rounds for that event, we stopped using it and postponed testing.
With the glide in the car, it didn't jump. Depends on the trans mostly.
Anyway, it's something I'm tossing around for an addition.
The idea is the make it possible to add, with another set of dials for RPM adjustment.
The same basic style as now would be an option as well.
With the end of race season upon us, i will start work on my revisions and hopefully have things ready for spring.

I like the idea of having a smaller remote box for the rpm controls inside the car. Keep the bulk of the wires and box sealed and under the hood. I had mine tucked back behind the PCM out of sight and it was awkward to make adjustments. I also like the idea of additional low and high end limiters.
Glad to see you're reinventing a great product, it was a shame to see it out of production with such a high demand.

Totaly agree with the two step launches with a replacement to the factory fuel Cut rev limiter. I also like the idea of a separate in car adjustment... Main box out side with an in car potentiometer type adjustment.

sounds like the guys covered it pretty well matt, but i definatly need one with this 6 speed, this thing is getting hard enough to launch, one of them would make my life much easier

that way you can tune the OEM limiter to 8K and use the 2step limiter for the "true" rev limit

past that i've just been waiting for you to make some more... when you do put me in line!!!!

This is a late response but what about making it software based also? You could use a USB cord to connect to the box and a laptop (since most hardcore guys have laptops in the car anyways) and you could just change the settings with a small app. THAT would be sweet!!!!

Doubt it, your stuck with the ***** 
The added cost to support USB, not to mention the PC side work, is something I don't see worth it for the few that MIGHT be willing to pay for it.
Bells and whistles are nice, but step back from it for a minute.
How many people are really going to change something sitting in the staging lanes all strapped in? How many would break out a laptop to change something?
I can see making the adjustments remote, simply for an installation option, but added complexity = added cost.
I've left myself open in some respects on the newer design, but over complicating it is not my plan.

early '06 is my target. Before racing season starts for most of us anyway.
cost, not sure yet. More than the old one, yes. How much more depends on a few things. I'll know more after the holidays.
