- FORSCAN is still indicating, through the ICP PID, that when removing my foot quickly from a WOT run the psi rises to an indicated 3400 psi. This seems strange to me. Under WOT I'm lucky if the ICP indicates anything above 1500 psi with it falling quickly to 1000 - 1150 psi.

Official message from the Team:
Unfortunately we have to postpone the v2.0 delivery, so far - to 31 March, but we can not promise it will not be moved again. Main reason - lack of time developers can dedicate for this work. Although this development is in a final stage, there is still a lot of things to do.
We really appreciate for all the encouragement we get from FORScan users. We are sorry for the delay and assure that we do and will do our best to deliver new version as soon as possible. We will also look for a possibility to dedicate more resources on the project in the future.
With best regards,
FORScan Team
