   I agree Eric.  I have learned that when I have a meter, scale, 
gauge or even a look-up table, I find that I can dial in a pretty
good solution quicker but I ignore what the seat of my pants is 
telling me.That's just the physicist in me.  Of course how it drives 
and how it feels is much more important ... to the driver!  I'd skip 
the gauge or at least put it where you can read it when tuning but
can't be distracted by it when driving.  :-P
   Two cents for the non-driving engineer please. :-]  As Butters
would say, "That's me!"
