I will - but do any exist yet? Are there a few "reviews" hiding within the big JB4 discussion?

Great thread idea. Please keep it up. I do appreciate everyone else sacrificing their cash and cars for early R&D on these products!

It seems there a few members beta testing, so I guess it doesn't really count until it's a final product. Excellent distinction to be made, sir! Thanks!

Beta reviews would be okay as well - I think...

Anything at this point would be helpful - there's not a lot out there as yet ...

Agreed, and so far it appears every tuning option has seen at least one issue with misfired and/or plug issues...

Forgive me here, but I think some folks are pushing their products further than they should based on octane and gas quality. This is one of the problems with piggybacks, they can't calibrate based on octane by themselves. Today's ECM's can.

Very good point, sir!

Agreed. The vendors generally have a number of tuning options/settings based on available fuel octane, and everybody seems to want to run the max HP tune regardless of what's in their tank ...

We had issues with the break up under heavy load with out a box/tune on the car. We are thinking its more of a limiter inside the ECU.

91 octane is what we are running on the box, with 92 octane and octane booster in the tank... still having issues.

We also had issues with break up when we ran the car with off road pipes (de-cat).

Stock plugs at .038 and HKS 40il's at .028. Going to try the 45il's at .028 next weekend and we will see what happens.
