[Gmecm] RE: '727 mounting

[Clair Davis]

Sounds like the obvious answer, and good to know about the firm suspension
effects.  My 7730 is mounted vertically, and my Valiant is set up for an
occasional autocross (parking lot racing around cones), as well as generally
"spirited" driving.  Roads here are average to poor, and some are made of
bricks.  Combined with 45-series tires, a bit of harshness occasionally
makes it in to the passenger compartment.  My ECM is mounted to the vent box
under the dash, which is somewhat insulated from the chassis by a foam ring
that seals the box to the cowl for fresh air.  I hope that helps, but so far
it hasn't been a problem while trying to tune/datalog over the last few
days.
