Do you have different info?The early OBD1 SNs need a plug in chip just like the Foxes, I think the OBD2 systems can just load tunes with a handheld tuner? I may be wrong, but when I looked into a tuner for our Excursion, it's as easy as plug tuner into OBD2 port and send tune. You're done. My point isn't to try and cheat, I want to be legal. Our cars do not have interiors, the ECU is in the stock location in most cars, some it is not. But can be checked at any race, specialy if someone suspects there are 'shenanigans', as we call them. Some guys have a "it ain't cheatin' till you get caught attitude", but not me. Once someone displays that behaviour I want to tear their car appart every race to see what shenanigans they've brewed up this time. Yes, I don't trust guys like that.The one worry I have on the Cobra ECU is one of our Mustang guys is using one. He makes the power on the dyno, but on track something is not right. We put Traqmate data aquisition into random cars and it calculates HP based on weight and acceleration on track, his car is not on par with the LT/LS powered Camaros, which it should be. So if there is a set of turns where you are on and off the throttle or modulating the throttle, is this causing a split second problem which multiplies causing you to be a half second slower. We will be going through the data in a upcoming meeting and getting deeper into it, I don't quite understand it fully.</blockquote>
