thanks jim,
well under the "settings" i have to program it to the vehicle specific. so i have to set how many cylinder's there are, VSP, and throttle position. i assume it needs all this information to be able to show feedback. it's the new Apex-i AVC-R. i called apex-i and they told me to try 2, or 4. i remember long time ago Dave Perry knew all this stuff. but not sure if he's still around. so maybe i was thinking 2000 pulse per minute. maybe they ask in seconds. but that still seems high to me.
well, thanks! i'm still trying to figure this thing out...
