I will be BETA testing Superchips Firefly
Just got of the phone with Andy at Superchips and agreed to beta test their new Firefly system. I should have it in my hands by the end of the week. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I think. The only thing I'll have to compare it to is my Quad Xzillaraider and Commander, which is tough competition!

You know, I really don't know!

What limited info I have says it has a touchscreen controller/monitor that can be adjusted on the fly, but I don't even know if its a programmer or a box. I'm hoping its a programmer because I don't want to have to remove my Quadzilla products.

Probably. I don't mind swithing the power off of the Quad stuff, but I don't want to start pulling anything out of the truck. I just finished installing it for christs sake!

In another thread someone posted a link to a "sign up" sheet. Give a search and you'll probably find it. It wasn't posted too long ago.

I agreed to test it also. Oh boy, oh boy, a new toy. I just hope I can convince my wifey it's just a high tech gauge.

OK - the Lazer EGT gauge sounds scary to me!

Please let there be an actual probe in the manifold...
