Some really good points Frank. And I believe you are correct that Steve M has the best possible solution. I know Wil has one in Bucanneer, Steve has one in SunPrint, Jim is talking about putting one in Octane. I'm not sure who else is currently using a Data Log system.

George also has done a lot of research on the systems with Steve.

I'm not exactly sure how you catch the possible blatant cheaters without requiring the stock box though. The threat of a ECM change, and the actual draw straws and do two or three a race, is the only thing I can think of that makes the rest of the internal modifications almost moot (I think).

What you are describing is one of the things which caused the demise of the F1 and F2 classes. Not the only thing, but one of the key ones.
