    Thats probably why I got rid of my T/A. It was apart more then it was together! haha I had it 5 years and I think I drove it like 4,000 miles. The truck should run real good with the mods I am doing even N/A...

    learning the system first is allso a good way to prevent things from going boom too fast , once you have a good N/A baseline dailing it intoo boost is getting safer too as long as you take little steps you should be able to keep the airfuel ratio in the safe zone and not rattle up the pistons

    I really like the MSII on my truck and have had it for a few years. I haven't even used the new VE analize live and it was still pretty easy. I am now converting to EDIS-8 and that is proving to be more of a pain setting up the tone wheel than anything.

    I like to think I can figure it out... I had a problem with my board when I was building it... I think I overheated the TSEL or something in that circuit, I had to send it out to get it fixed. I was supposed to get it back today but the mail lady desided she didnt want to get out of her car. She left the sorry I missed you note in my mail box. The funny thing is I was sitting in the living room all morning. O well I guess I will go pick it up at the post office in the morning....

    Ha! I know that's right. I enjoyed it so much I went back for a second round. :D Its awesome in the end though. I have a 3 year old son that loves to wrench on the "vroom-vroom". Best of luck to you and the Mrs.

    Heres a pice of my big body Buick... Got hit in the rear end and totaled or I would probably building it instead of my truck... Best pass with it was 14.20s... needed gears bad went through the traps in second gear hahaha. It would hit the limiter in second at 109mph funny thing was it has a speed limiter at 110... That thing was good times and it would drift forever... And I would buy another in a minute!
