How many run max power all the time?

What does everybody do? Run the modules wide open and control the power at your foot or tune down the modules alittle and just turn them up every once in a while? I just turned mine down alittle and it sucks i think im gonna have to turn it back up Not that i abuse the power but i need to have it there when i need it.

I WAS driving mine with the Juice on level 3.3, but found out I get better milage at 4.3, so why not?

I don't use level 5 much unless some jackarse in a little Acura wants to "play"

I run my TST on 5/5 (out of 9/9) and my VA on 100% that is where I make the most power so far, and I use my foot to control the power.

What model of VA do you run 3.2 or 3.1. I didn't think the VA would stack with the TST.

I think i need to put the power back up and just suffer with the carnage . Ill have to rely on my foot to be the governor. I just drove 25 miles on the lower setting and it feels like im dragging the brake

I have the VA C3.1 and it is a pressure box and it is stackable with the TST.
The VA C3.2 is duration and not stackable.

Thanks for the reply. I can't take it anymore and wanted to go the VA before I upgrade (post DTT) to the TST. The reason is I drive a auto and know, I have would have no control with the TST and stock Auto Just I was wondering about mixing two boxes that do duration....Thanks

Daily driving I run TST w/twins program at 3/1 and EZ on Level 1. I rarely run higher on the street, max is TST 4/2 and EZ Level 2 except at the track. Then all bets off, I have ran with BDDL Performance program, TST 6/6 and EZ 3. With my current mods this is probably too much, runs very strong, gets very hot and runs out of rail pressure before close to red line.

Have you dyno'ed yet? all you are doing on the higher levels is draining the rail and smoking like a freighttrain! my truck starts running out of rail pressure on 5/5 around the topend. I dynoed on 5/5@ 457/1002, 7/7 @430/900, and 9/9 @ 399/802 (BTW that is exactly the same HP I put down one year ago on 9/9 W/O the VA and Turbo) Next time I go to the dyno I am going to experiment a little and try 6/4 and 7.3 and see if my #'s go up. it seems to me that the higher the TQ setting goes up the faster the rail goes dry! Gotta' get a modded CP3 if you want to be able to use all the TST has!
