Awesome stuff, keep us posted!
Hi MN Driver,

First off I must mention that I've seen a lot of your posts over at IC, and enjoy reading your comments.

Did not know about about pushing the FCD button to update the display, but still would not mind finding a flat section of road that is about 5 miles long and doing the test again, and this time A-B-A if possible.

And yes, I have also noticed how poochy the Insight engine gets at 2000 rpm. And it's due to the intake resonator null at that point. The engine is perky at 1600 and again at 2300 or so, but drops off at 2000 rpm.

Someday that null will have to be "engineered" out by modifying intake circuit.

Tire pressure is 55 psi.

Jim.
