Great to hear you are getting close Mike!  When the big day comes, let me know. Maybe I will be able to come down.

I also have a noticible difference between the two controllers that I attribute to different MAP pickup locations.  (oppisite ends of the manifold).  Though the difference is no as much as you describe.

Does the Mode 9 copy just copy the MAP table or does it also copy things like the staging point, the global injector setting, etc...
 
If I can get this B controller dialed in I'll be out of excuses - time to fly.
