Emissions test.

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Yep the Haltech is history.
It can do some things that MS II cannot, but MS II will develop and grow to 
handle those things.
The tunability and support are different universes.
It took me 6 months to tune the Haltech to pass emissions.
Considering all the last minute issues, the MS II was essentially tuned in a 
day.
The Haltech is perfectly functional. Anybody want to buy it?
