New Superchips Beta testing

I got an E-mail wednesday from Craig Ancel at Superchips about beta testing a new Firefly programmer.Here's what he said he's sending: Superchips Firefly for 2004.5 - 2006 Dodge RAM Cummins (Kit includes): New technology Lazer Gauge with EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) and Turbo Boost Display Inline Power Module offering 3 “On-The-Fly” Power Settings, plus stock EGT Probe for installation into exhaust man. Anybody else get the message??

He also said to tell any of my friends to contact him if interested.
I've Never beta tested before but he said I'd be able to buy it at heavily discounted price if I like it. Here's his contact info:

So my guess is that if anything goes terriably wrong I am on my own! That is the idea of Beta testing right? And I am supposed to report if anything goes wrong... has anyone else done this and regretted it?

Usually they have done extensive testing before putting it on a beta vehicle. I don't think I have ever heard of someone having a catastrophic failure from beta testing anything, so I don't know who would be responsible.

However if it were me and I knew for a fact that the product I was testing caused the failure, I would expect for them to pay for it unless it was from neglect or abuse on my part.

they make you sign the paper saying its your responsibility....but i agree if the product caused a failure i would certainly fight the company.

My beta test for Quadzilla was fine.....they do test a lot before its in the hands of anyone in public.

Well I am thinking about doing it for the new Superchips Firefly. Might be a way to get some more power cheaper than normal.

I think I'd beta a module, but no way with a downloader. Let someone else figure it out if the ecm locks up.
