It must be so hard to get a car like that to go straight with such a short wheelbase. They really make it look easy. I am definitely going to the next Pan Am's in Puerto Rico. I've never been there but I am sure that is one event that will be a blast.

Do you know what ECU that car is running? I've been noticing a lot of the cars from PR are switching from the Haltech fuel only ECU's to the Sakura computer and still most are running locked timings (distributors).

You can't mess with a proven combination. The Sakura is readily available for that setup and it's basically a copy of a F-9 with better datalogging and some more features.
It's difficult to beat the reliability and ease of setup with a locked distributor.

You WILL have a blast down in PR

As pointed out, the Sakura ECU is very popular on PR; I've heard that the Sakura team does "help" the racers (kind of like a sponsorship).

What I've seen is that a lot of guys are using microtech on their streeet cars; they will remove the E6K in favor of the micro...

Most of that is also based on tuner preferences.
