I remember reading someone was sending a false speed signal to the ECU to allow a VX to go into lean burn at lower speeds and idle, but I don't recall the LOD thread. Got a link?

Personally I would rather lower my LOD and resistance the old fashion way of areomodding the car and reducing rotating mass, but still nice to read what others are doing.

I think my next test will be looking for engine temps at the entry of low RPM lean burn vs. the when the car only allows 2400 lean burn. Perhaps it is as simple as the thermostat letting it run too warm? Not likely but worth testing.
