I would love to do that setup, Lightspeed + SureFly. Let us know please how it works!

The good folks at GRT are working on a solution and so is Jason Hutchinson at Surefly. Neither have come up with the fix at this time but I am sure they will soon.
I am well please with the Surefly IE although I was surprised as first when the RPM drop and EGT rise more closely resembled a Magneto than to Light Speed EI. The LS has very little rpm drop and egt rise during the "mag check" so I expected the Surefly to be the same but it is not. It was explained to me that this was done on purpose so that it would indeed be similar to the Mag Check.
The ease of installation was a big plus for me. The installation and timing of the Surefly is very easy and if you are replacing one of two magnetos all you have to do for pwr. is connect near the starter solenoid. In my case I was adding a second Electronic EI so I added a 3A TCW IBBS as a backup prw source for the Surefly.
I am going on a 5.5hr cross country trip the middle of June and will have a much better "feel' for how it performs after that. Will report here.
