1% evil, 99% hot gas.

I had trouble when I first started using it with the shrink-wrap sleeve around the sensor slipping. I couldn't even get the sensor hand-tight, so I had to cut the sleeve off. Now it works fine and looks shiny.

I did. http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rotarycalc
I checked it against a few of the other converters floating around. Mine seems pretty much the same as the others, aside from me taking the engine correction value into consideration.

Please consider setting the code Free so those of us who don't run windows can build on the great work you've done and make it run on our machines. Might see it on a Nexus One or Nokia N900 if you do. Release it under the GNU General Public License and you'll always get credit and be able to incorporate improvements others make back into your version.

Well, this unit works well.
Just a little too well, if the stark truth isn't what you wanna see.
Installed a new blower on my '04 GT with only 15K miles on the motor.
Won't start. Tries, but won't catch and run. Truly epic flood symptoms.
After performing deflooding procedures, oh, about a zillion times (OK, only about a hundred), I hook up the tester, which worked perfectly.
Both rotors, all face values in the 50's. (That's "fifties", as in "5-OH", or "Fiddy")
Apex seals are obviously hibernating deep, deep in the rotors, and I don't think they'll be coming out in the spring. Long story, but I think the previous owner somehow managed to carbonize the motor (see: carbonite/star wars/impenetrable encasement system/jabbathehut)
But hey, at least I know what the problem is

Has anyone been able to contact the inventor? twistedrotors.com is still up; but attempts to order through the website fail (both blue and green show as out of stock as soon as you try to order either one), and all of the emails and PMs I've tried sending also go without any response. I even tried contacting the inventor through the inventor's youtube account. I'm not expecting the group buy price; but I still want to order one because I am pretty sure my compression is fading fast; but I want to be sure.

I can't understand why it won't start; the startup map for the Pettit blower is pretty much the same as the stock map. Right now the only thing I can put my finger on is the abysmally low compression readings.
Blown engine, maybe, but I just checked, it didn't have a smile on it's face or any lipstick on the exhaust...
