Once you get the hang of it victor, it's a snap. I actually leave the AutoTap plugged in and ran the cable to my passenger seat. Laptop is on, plug in AutoTap, start program, press space bar, give the session a name... you're good to go...

I think the spacers may help because it's a type of heatsoak prevention that the thermotec cannot do, and it's the soak from direct contact and it's in an area that the thermotec has limited access to. I'm going to a shop this afternoon to talk fabrication, they'll probably do my headers (they are a BMW/Porsche racecar shop) so I'll let you know what we figure out...

For some reason, I always fear my laptop flying off the passenger seat during "testing"...
