What he said. On point..
Again, no one said that. In fact, almost everyone that noted it voids the warranty also has some sort of tune. Nice reading skills, Stevie Wonder.

Abe you don't have the appropriate option for this. My car doesn't either (I bought a showroom car). I too am hoping this is something we can add later like the MMPK or whatever it was called for the n54 cars.

Thank You. Amazing how some here seem to get a major wedgy about this tuning stuff to the point of name calling which is really stupid.
Lots of "always" and "never" claims made here by the very vocal tuning experts on board. Disagree with them(one in particular) and suffer their wrath. Too funny. Gotta love all the internet expert blowholes out there.

I'm not even sure what you and the other guy are sad about. All we have said are a few simple truths.
  1. If you tune, your engine/transmission warranty are void
  2. The likelihood of a tune hurting your engine or transmission is minuscule
  3. Most of us still choose to tune

Then, out of nowhere like a venereal disease, you came in here spouting some random bullshit about how we don't have the money to fix our cars or some other nonsense you conjured up while reading your lease agreement. Now you're talking about the anatomy of whales like some bath salt abusing marine biologist. This isn't the truck forums, so feel free to head over there whenever you figure out how to navigate the website.

Take it easy Dude, you sound you are about ready to blow a gasket. Interesting that you feel you are in a position to tell other members where they can post.

Reached out to them twice still no ETA. I guess sometime next year. In the mean time I will be prepping for stage 2, (i.e. DP, high flow air filter etc).

Are you sure your traction control is fully off? You need to hold down the button for a few seconds

I just had mine installed today. Great addition of power. I'll most likely stick to map1 and time to time drop some E85 in and run map3. I am 6speed manual.

I am curious of what the boost over the base versus the competition is. Maybe just run a map 6 with that little added boost to match up to a competition on the same map. 91 octane fuel is terrible but it's the best thing around fro $5/gallon.

I plan on running it on a Dyno for forum members. I'd say from feel it is around 525-530whp on map1. It's a must for the manual drivers for that amazing midrange torque we need and makes that redline experience that much more exhilarating.

Oh yes please do, there seems to be almost no hard information about the gains these piggy back solutions have on the 6MT. I would love to see what map1 and 2 look like on pump 91 from a dyno perspective.
