Holy crap I guess I should have read a little further huh?
That is a pretty sweet deal to be able to have one box for both cars.

8ight Setup
I have almost 2 gallons through the 8ight now and could not be happier with it. It is far more capable then I ever will be....I thought I had my steup pretty good, but I just picked up the Team Magic Setup Station and WOW.....talk about being off on my angles! I thought I was at -2 degrees camber in the rear (rpm gauge), but in was at -5.5! I thought I was at -1 degree camber in the front, but the setup station showed me to be at almost -3 degrees! My toe out was a closer to what I thought I had (I thought I was at Positive 1 degree, but I was at zero). I have not had a chance to run him on a track since the setup station, but man, talk about not even being close.....and actually, the car was fast on the track as it was....hopefully the changes will make it even easier to drive fast...

One more thing...the first time I used the station, I did it without fuel in the tank....I thought about that a bit and decided to fill the tank about 1/2 full and do the setup again.....the 1/2 tank of fuel made a difference as well, as I had to tweak my settings a bit....(I figure if I do the setup at 1/2 tank, that is a good compromise). Overall, I am very glad I got this thing (and I am not a serious racer by any means).

I did have to use washers on each axle (outside the setup station) to take up some space as you could not screw the lock nuts onto the axle enough to make the setup station nice and snug on the axle....overall, I still cannot believe how much I was off with using the rpm camber gauge!
