1)  IMIS and PRI Trade Show Recap  Like last year, we displayed at both the PRI show in Orlando and the International Motorsport Industry Show (IMIS) show in Indianapolis.  Thanks to all who stopped by.  The info below will update you if you couldn't make either show.

The Shock Dyno got put on the "back burner" this last year as we concentrated on other products and day-to-day business.  However, we did make some progress redesigning the scotch yoke mechanism to be much "beefier" over the original prototype design.  We've cycled high pull-down shocks at their max rate for 20 min or more, until the shock got up to 300+ deg.  We had to shut the dyno down to keep the shock from failing, and the dyno said "Is that all you got?".

We expect to start taking orders for the Shock Dyno in February, so stay tuned.

2)  Holiday Schedule and Gift Giving  Performance Trends wishes all of you a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season.    

Here's our holiday office schedule:

We can take orders for email delivery for Christmas through Dec 21, for last minute gift giving.  You can give a program for Christmas and "wrap up" the emailed invoice which contains the unlock code for most any program on our website.  Your gift can download from our website on Christmas Eve or Christmas day and running in minutes.   

If you are not sure, you can purchase a Gift Certificate for any amount $20 or higher.  We will refund the difference should you decide to give too much, up to 50% of the original amount.  Say you give a $100 gift certificate, and your racer decides on a $79.95 program.  We'll refund the $20.05 difference.  These can also be emailed at the last minute.  Shopping could not be easier, AND you're getting them what they want.  Gift Certificates are not available on line, you have to call 248-473-9230 and ask for sales.

If you need a gift which needs to be shipped, Wed Dec 19 is probably the cut-off date, unless you want to pay for UPS next day air shipping.

If you have any questions, call 248-473-9230.  We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

3)  Engine Analyzer Pro Enterprise Edition, Bug Fixes  Well, as usually happens, the first couple of users of the new Enterprise Edition found a couple of things we missed.  

For those who own the Enterprise Edition, you can update by installing right over the top of your existing version at this link:

  to update your Engine Analyzer Pro Enterprise Edition v3.9

When you are asked during the installation, select to do a Refresh installation instead of a Complete (typical) installation.  Once installed, click on Help (at the top of the main screen), and then select About...    The new version number (written in blue) should now be 3.9 A.056. 

   to see Enterprise Edition Supplement  in PDF format.

   for the Engine Analyzer Pro Enterprise Edition for more details.

Note:  The Enterprise Edition is completely contained in the Engine Analyzer Pro v3.9 A.054 demo.  If you purchased the Enterprise Edition, you receive a different unlock code which unlocks the Enterprise Edition features.   For updates and upgrades, you must contact us before purchasing so we can confirm what version you own already:  248-473-9230 or  sales@performancetrends.com
