More silly ideas

[Matt S Bower]

Hang on a second here,  I think I'm missing something.  My understanding
from the time I did instrumentation work here at the "engine works" test
cells with absolute you're readings at wot would make sense.  Am I
missing something like software making the baro reading and adjusting to
that.  An absolute sensor vented to atmosphere should read whatever
barometric is.
