flat spot on RPM curve on 2 850's

The two 96s in question do not have the VVIS system.

The system was a great idea, even if it didn't work for very long

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

Yeah, I think the thread was getting off topic. With the posts about '93s I did'nt realize th OP was explaining '96s.

Either way, I think it explains the flat spot issues I am notiicing. I'll have to invent something to control it myself and sell it on the nets. Oh wait...
