[Shotimes] Help with LPM

[Ron Porter]

Mark, Gerald Harmon and Dave Garber are folks that immediately come to mind.
Mark & Gerald were "only" around 14.60 bone-stock, Dave's car is "only" a
best of 14.66 at 97 bone-stock.

The LPM and 80mm MAF also got my former '89 into the 14.80s at 96 with a
strong headwind and a slipping clutch.

The issue is that Mallinson's '89 turns the same on the dyno and on the
dragstrip as my former '89. All parts were the same EXCEPT he had the Pro-M
77mm and no LPM, I had the 80mm+LPM.

For the same performance with one less part (and an electrical one a that)
to mess with, I would avoid the LPM. And there have been a number of folks
that have never gotten their cars to run right with chips or LPMs.

Proof is in the pudding.  Ran 14.5 @ 97 in full weight 95 with 80mm and Ted
B LPM.  How many stock MAF's are going that quick in full weight GEN II's?
Uhmm, none me thinks:D
