1)  Dyno Water Brake Controller Movies  Heath O'Brien from Australia recently sent in some movies of his dual rotor Go Power water brake, running a 500+ HP V-8.  Heath is running our Water Brake Dyno Controller with our DataMite 4 and Dyno DataMite Enterprise software.  Many thanks to Heath.

2) Blog Post:  Dyno Testing in the Car  I recently had to answer some questions about my 68 Mustang.  So I did some quickie tests with our Road Race DataMite III and DT3-AF1 A/F sensor and got some answers.  Our Drag Race DataMite III or DataMite 4 would work equally as well.

3) Flow Bench Bore Adapters  We've developed some more flow bench accessories, bore adapters.  These are very similar to our current 6" EZ Flow bore adapters, so we can keep the cost down.

4) Policy Updates  We've been in business more than 30 years and have a very large customer base.  It is not unusual for someone to call us up wanting to transfer a 20 year old system from their old Win 98 computer to their new Win 10 computer.  This can easily take up to an hour, so it is necessary to do some policy changes.

  1. If you are unlocking one of our larger programs (ones with a computer hardware number in the unlock screen) on your 4th replacement computer, you will be charged $50 for the code.  Because you get 2 licenses with your original purchase, this would be your 6th unlock code.  If a paid update is available for that program, you can purchase that and this counter starts over.  (For our smaller programs without computer hardware numbers, you should not need to call or email.  These smaller programs will take the same unlock number if you use the same Registered Name, which produces the same Registered Code number.)
  2. If you need significant technical support after the first year or ownership of a product, you may be charged a $75 tech support fee.  By "significant", we mean something that requires more than 3-5 minutes on the phone, or emails that require answering several questions.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but our time on the phone is getting out of hand.
