I built a climatron around my FD so it doesn't get attacked by the nefarious heat monsters. I get quite a few stares while on the road.

You think it's hot in NJ? ****, I'd give my left nut to be back in NJ (for many reasons). This heat in TX blows! Above 100 every day.

BTW, someone inferred that the FC Commander measures Boost in bar...it measures boost in kg/cm^2, and yes there is a difference. 14.7 psi=1 bar, and 14.2psi=1 kg/cm^2. I could be wrong, but I'm 99% sure I'm right ...

1 atm = 14.7 psi
1 bar = 14.5 psi

We Texas boys know that are cars are really fast.
Why, because they have to be made to be fast with our 7 months of high heat and humidity.
