I mean I got the original call already, I gave one of your boys my CC # at the beginning of Sept.
I was asking because I'd like to know if I'll get mine before I Dyno on Nov 10th. if not I'd like to know before hand if possible.
Thanks

ok guys.
Also, on a different note, I am going to have an update later that adds 4 power levels for a total of 10 levels plus an off setting. Or 11 total positions.
WE are scaling it different so that PL3 does not hit quite as hard. The old PL6 will now be similar to PL8. PL9 and PL10 will be more. PL10 is 33% more fuel than the old PL6.
I am also going to have some options for defueling on more parameters such as boost and fuel pressure. I will send those out as well.
ANy and all feedback is appreciated.

This box is still pretty amazing, especially on a basically stock truck. Really gets an aggressive exhaust note, sounds cool. Tried the aggressive new tune today and for "normal driving" needed to keep on PL1.
Working out some details to see if new injectors and turbo might be possible. Just like the Harley, get a little power and you are never satisfied

ok guys.
Need a little help.
We cannot get the turbo timer to malfunction. I have seen it malfunction with my own eyes but, now it won't do it at all on our truck.
SO, we sort of think that it is/was a software compiling issue or something silly.
If you have this problem can you please tell us which update is causing this.
For now, I am going to shut the website updates off until we figure out whether it is bad updates causing the turbo timer issues or not.

Bryan,
We will be there. I would love to see if new software stops the stupid turbo timer issue. We can also get you the newest files loaded so that it is not surging on you.
PL1 should not be that noticeable. It is a timing only tune.
I can see where 2 and 3 hit hard. The rest are evenly spaced out and should have a noticable increase between each level. I would think on a stock turbo anything over 4 or 5 is way too much fuel.

I find that this thing hits pretty hard on 1, 2, and 3. Not much of an increase from 3-4 then 5 and 6 really take off.

i had a blast yesterday at the drags, the box ran good and i killed a C5 vette 4 times, that was pretty funny. the truck ran a 13.1 @ 101 and got to 1600 degrees through the traps. i was more than happy with the performance of it, BUT when i hooked up the drag comp, it also ran a 13.1 @ 101. nothing changed at the end of the track so on the road is where this box really shines. i still prefer the box and like it better than my drag comp but right now, and i think that is key RIGHT NOW it runs the same as the drag comp. there is more to come i am sure, i loved the way the truck runs and am still very happy with it. i have a good video of one of my 13.1 runs killing the vette. i will post soon.
Next time you are going to the track let me know. I might want to try some reduced timing and also get you to try on some lower PL's. If you are not cleaning the smoke up we are leaving power on the table.
Also, I am guessing you are in an auto truck? I am not sure I will have a huge advantage in a drag race over a Drag Comp or Redline or something like that but, in a manual truck we will kill them because we can fuel so much faster. When you are drag racing an automatic you are never loosing boost and you are only using the WOT portion of the map.

Got on the dyno today...three pulls, I'll post pics of the dyno graph later as I'm now in Martinsville Va for the NASCAR race tomorrow...
Level PL02...323 HP
Level PL04...409 HP
Level PL06...411 HP...883 TQ
All on the aggressive tune without the anti-surge update...
A really smooth graph...mileage has gone up too...I'll track it for a while to get a accurate number.

Can you post the graph?
I want to see the curve, especially the torque curve. I would also like to see the curve after about 2700 RPMS to make sure we are still fueling all the way.

quad I spoke with someone the other day about the torque management the other day and he said he was checking on it. Told him about the BD-Rad and he said he would see if you all could put it in the new box. Any word on this???

The problem with TQ management is that it is somewhat mysterious.
Here is what we have found.
WE fuel hard enough, soon enough that while we do not disable it, we seem to override it. I am not sure you can really disable it, only cheat it or change it.
I have been pretty quiet about it until I get some beta testers to give me some feedback.
I have not had anyone have an TQ management issue to date. There have been plenty of people drag racing so I figured if it was an issue at all they would have chimed in to me!
