Press Release Summary = Innovate Motorsports today announced the release of the
ST-12 also known as the SuperTune-12 system.

Press Release Body = Innovate Motorsports today announced the release of the ST-12
also known as the SuperTune-12 system. The ST-12 is a complete data acquisition
system for advanced engine tuning. The system is anchored by Innovate Motorsports'
award-winning digital wideband Air/Fuel Ratio technology, but also includes flexible
sensors for RPM, MAP, Temperature, Duty Cycle, and analog inputs.

The ST-12 can power, manage, and consolidate data from up to 12 specialized LC-1
(Lambda Cable) wideband oxygen sensor controller cables. The specialized cables are
functionally identical to the standard LC-1 cables, except they are 18 ft. long,
terminated with a single ST-12 (DB-15) connector, and sleeved in a rugged thermal
insulator.

The ST-12 is targeted at engine builders, tuners, racers, and engine-technology
developers. At its simplest, the ST-12 can add wideband Air/Fuel measurement to
existing dynos, allowing users to either feed the ST-12's outputs into their dyno,
or to feed the dyno's outputs into the ST-12.

For RPM, the ST-12 includes options for direct tach input, inductive clamp, GMR
sensor, or optical sensors. For Manifold Absolute Pressure, the ST-12 features a
configurable 1-bar, or 3-bar pressure sensor for both normally-aspirated and
forced-induction applications. Multiple temperature and duty-cycle channels round
out the auxiliary-input capabilities of the ST-12.

Every ST-12 system includes the powerful LogWorks software for viewing, analyzing,
comparing, and saving session data. With LogWorks, users can view and print
everything from standard dyno chart to 3D color graphs with transparent overlays.
LogWorks features 32 channels of data, sampled at 12 samples/second.

A key feature of LogWorks 2.0 is a full math engine for generating calculated
traces. For example, LogWorks can calculate and graph horsepower, allowing direct
mapping and comparison of HP vs. RPM vs. AFR. This enables users to gather
performance data with a number of different fuel maps (or jetting changes, etc.),
the use LogWorks to directly determine peak volumetric efficiency at any RPM or
load. In other works, LogWorks 2.0 can tell you not only what your AFRs are, but
also what they should be.

"Individual cylinder tuning is the next major step forward in high-performance
engine tuning," stated Patrick Thompson, Innovate Motorsports' President. "NASCAR
and F1 teams have been doing it for years. Now it's within the reach of every team,
builder, and tuner."

"One goal with this system was to make it easy for operations with older dynos to be
able to add the latest capabilities," says Klaus Allmendinger, Innovate Motorsports'
VP of Engineering. "Just get torque into the ST-12, and now you've got a very
powerful dyno with serious data acquisition and analysis tools. You can also compare
track data with dyno data on the same system."

LogWorks 2.0 for the novice and ultimate enthusiasts.
