Well I bought mine through a dealer here in Colorado, but I was told that they had to get it from another place. I believe it was Dominator Diesel in Idaho. I think they are the first place to recieve the product. And as far as the price is concerned it depends on which stage you buy. I believe their is 3 different options.

Thats what I thought too. I thought it was a little wierd that this little Diesel performance shop in Greeley, CO. could get their hands on one, so I actually called the number on Van Aaken's web site. The woman that answered the phone told me that Domintator actually had the first C5's available.

Ok Stage I is just the C5, and it is $799
From there you can get the commander moniter, and I think it's about $399
And finally the thing that most of us want is the tuning software(key). And I don't have it yet but I was told it is about $300.

I think there must be a misunderstanding. No dealer has any as of yet. I have spoken directly with VA and dominator and they are not shipping yet.

When did you talk to them? I just talked to VA today. I will say however I was unable to get ahold of Dominator to confirm. This has me wondering a bit though...

Ok... I just got off the phone with Brian From Dominator. He is in Utah so that would explain why I was unable to reach him at the Store number. Imills you are correct Brian just confirmed to me he does NOT have any and probably won't for another week or two.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now I need to figure who has my money for the one that won't be here in 4 days.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have been beta testing this unit for a couple months and just thought it was odd that someone said it was released while we are still testing it. Don't worry, it will be very soon.

The basic box is $799. The monitor is optional, but not needed. The unlock code is an additional $300. It allows the user to have adjustability to make there own tunes. The basic box will do timing, pressure and pulse width so the need to stack boxes will be obsolete.

How about an extra 231 HP and 509 Ft Lbs with nothing but an aftermarket turbo on an 04 305/555 motor. Stock injectors and CP3.
My best Smarty/Quad stack was 435/892 and with the C5 I did 503/1006.
The latest dyno in my signature is with Flux 2's, but it was before the stage two CP3. I was running out of fuel on the dyno. I should be real close to 600 HP now.
