Click here for info on our Dyno DataMite v3.7 software:  http://performancetrends.com/dtm-dyno.htm

Cost to update is $100 for the Pro version, $75 for the Basic version.  You can try out the new program for 10 days without damaging your existing v2.0 or v3.2 installation, because it installs to a different default location.  DO NOT try to force it to install over your existing DataMite program.

2)  Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show, Dec 11-13  It's not too early to start thinking about attending the worlds largest "hardcore" motorsports trade show, the PRI show in Orlando, Florida. This is the only trade show we attend because it's the biggest and best. We'll be in booths 5580, 5582, 5584, part of SuperFlow's "Test World". Stop by and see what new things we have for 2008. You must make reservations to attend, so call PRI at 949-499-5413 in California to make them.
