Default [rant] Maximizer 2 [/rant]

I installed the whole system and came down to wiring up the wideband and found out the f88king thing isn't going to work. The Max 2 is programmed with some gay non-linear curve that FJO preprograms. My hopes were it was going to be some linear curve and I could change the LM1 output but its a no go. After spending well over $500 for the Maximizer 2 and $1400 for my widebands/tuning software, I refuse to spend more money on their wideband with a retarded output curve.

Any other ways I can get around this? I need to have a specific curve fed into the Maximizer 2 based on A/F

can't you just make a transformation function from one to the other, just like we did with the zeitronix wb in december 04 for hpt's use?

The Max2 is preset to recieve a wacky curve... .82 volts = 10.0:1 goes up quick and kinda levels off from 12.0 to 16.0 and goes up again after that.
