I hope your kidding.
If not that probably cost someone their job. I remember being on the phone with you and telling them to put the adapters in because your truck was a 2001 truck. Actually i think you said a 01.5??
Please tell me you are kidding.

Nope. I'm not. Wish I was. The only map sensor plug I have is the one that comes on the main harness. Nothing else. And yes, the truck is an 01.5 and I remember you telling him. But the harness I've got is for the map sensors that have the sliding red tab that locks on. Mine is not like that.

I hate when that happens.....We're desperately awaiting feedback quad!.....no room for errors.....they delay production.

Talked to quad. It was an accident that the adapter didn't get shipped out. They are sending one out ASAP. It's no biggie. The box is all but installed so as soon as I get the adapter I'm pluggin the map sensor in and having some fun.

You have no idea. Especially when I specifically put in the extra effort to get it out on friday and delivered on Saturday.
Tuesday is going to be rough.

Quad, am I correct in assuming that a box like this won't do anything for an HO guy?
I was always under the impression that the reason HOs lacked power was NOT the lack of suitable electronics, but rather fuel capacity.

There is a limit on any pump, SO, HO, HRVP etc. They all have a limit.
We tested on a highly modified truck with a hot rod pump and we made a little more power than a Drag Comp but, our powerband was a lot better. I am not sure if we ran it out of fuel or if at peak power that is all the fuel there is to give? As we test more and more trucks we should be able to get a feel for that.
There are a couple of things we hope to do.
1.) No more shudder
2.) More drivable
3.) Better low end response
4.) Broader Power curve.
Now, in some cases while we might not gain you tons more peak power the overall curve should be better, or that is the goal. This means it should be faster and should drive better which are also on my list.
There are so many combos with injectors, turbos, fuel systems etc, it is hard to know what it will do in all cases.
We did not re-invent the pump or how to control it. We simply took what we knew and combined it with newer technology to allow us to do more with the pump at hand. We have a lot more electronic power to make fueling and timing decisions and that is where we should shine.
It is also more cost effective and as we go along here there will be more things that we are able to release and talk about. Can't spill any beans just yet.
So, time will tell. I do not know if some of the response we are getting is from unhappy customers or simply those that are wanting to gain more power? I have heard a lot of pros and cons to the boxes out now and maybe if we solve a few issues we can make a lot of people happy?
