Dude, if you have an opportunity to jump in and work with Lance or his contacts, you should take it. I have some knowledge of the things he posted below, and it is truly cutting edge stuff.

Thanks. Yes you do speak for all...

many have been on this forum (and some on the EFILive forum also) for a long time, I have even spoken to some by phone over the years, you get get know each other;

I find everyone here knowledgeable and supportive of each others endeavors (especially when you have the car all apart and need to figure out some detail in a hurry).

The LS1 F-car phenomenon probably would have never happened if it wasn't for these people here!

I went to see Lance, he showed me a bunch of cutting edge stuff (mechanical and electrical), we had a nice talk about cars and embedded computers;

Lance then took me down the street to Hyliion where the tech manager talked with me (interviewed me) and gave me a tour, it all went very well.

Lance, thanks, much appreciated
