I called them up the other day and talked to the guy for about 15 minutes. And of course, not compatible with late 06-07 trucks. He did say that hes sure theyll get it worked out, just a matter of time. Something with the way the injectors are fired he said. So now Im in waiting mode for it...

Go get yours now, they are available, and if you pre-pay the tuning software you'll save $200. Lmills at Midatlanticdiesel can set you up.

Spoolup,.. egts at wot,... low end,... mid range,... top end,... have you stacked with it? If so, with what,... and the version you have is NOT tunable,..right? So the tunable should even be an improvement over what you have,.. right? Any mileage numbers? How many position switch does it have? On the tunable version will you be able to set a tune with a position on the dash switch and change from tune to tune with a flick of the switch or do you have to retune the box for KILL or dumming around town? What are the connections that it plugs into?

Jess,.. you da man so I figured you have some answers for us.

holly cow ok,mine has been custom tuned by va on the dyno and the spool up is awesome,however mine is getting a ton of fuel throw at it..egts at wot get pretty warm 1450 to 1600 have been seen.low end and mid range egts are great never above 1250 when towing.when you smack the go peddle spool up and is very fast and egts take a reasonable time to get to 1400 plus.the tunable one is going to e just as good as the one i have,Mark from va did an awesome job on tuning it..asfar as mileage my dodge gets run hard and put up wet and i dont really check mileage much..coming home from the dyno i got about 17.5 running 80-85...i have a 3 poss switch off half and all but there is a 6 postition wich will be off an 5 levels of power.yes as i understand the tunables will still utlilze a switch to switch power levels say 1 being lowest and 5 being highest..6 position switch again..as far as connections you plug it in between the front ecm connection on the side of the motor just like a va 3.1..i love this box i no longer stack anything with it,i got no hpp stcking on the dyno.i hope to get the tuning software soon...think this answers all the question..i have the motor out of my truck doingsome work to it so if someone wants to try it out let me know...jess

I asked the same thing when I called, and the tunable unit comes with the five power levels, and then you can change the fuel maps how you want, so you can have five completely custom tunes for whatever you want them...

Would you populate your mods that accompany the c5 on your truck pls. Do you have any dyno numbers or 1/4 mile with it? Tks.
