When it comes to electronics, and programming and all the testing you guys have done, i dont question one bit why its taking so long hahaha! plus im to broke at the moment to purchase one anyway but i cant wait to hear more about it and what others have to say about what kind of beast it is To me it sounds like this is going to be a great box and with all the prep and planning that has gone into it and not being released to early as some boxes were a well mannered box with minimal problems if any at all! xcited and cant wait for the release guys

got some great news today, ill be testing out the final version as completed on tuesday and will be stacking it with some other tunes to test out and see what it does. Mark and I talked, hes pushing as hard as he can, again for some reason it is taking forever to get the harnesses made, boxes are programed and awaiting harnesses. hopefully ill know by next week a final and official release date. Hopefully i can show and tell what the new controller is by then. not promising anything but these are my goals

Goals are a start thanks dukeboy! and taking time on the harnesses could be a good thing haha we wouldnt want our pride and joys catching fire cause of a wiring problem now hahahahaha. And you say you will be stacking it with some other tunes? Does that mean it will be like the adrenaline in a way where you can change the tunes or do you mean stacking as in with other boxes? thanks for the updates!

yes, i hauled about 15000 lbs on a flatbed trailer and towed a 29ft 5th wheel camper, on the completely stock truck the bumped up the mileage about 1.6 mpg with the camper. towed on a highway with hills and curves. I found that level 2 was the best for power and economy while keeping EGTs at an acceptible level

Okay, did some more testing today, have more info.

First the timing only box has been named the Powershot. 2nd, due to several pms and emails from people offering suggestions, some suggestions have been taken into effect. The latest box is now adjustable between 3 levels, stock, then level 2 is some timing and level 3 is the max timing we can safely do.

Also, the new combo box is called the Powermax 5 or PM5 for short. it will still be adjustable, have cold engine protection and turbo cooldown feature and some other cool stuff. The new control features full color gauges for pyro, boost, fuel pressure and many more. we're also working on a couple other features, ill let you know if we can get those in too.

power gained is basically not changed since i posted the other dyno sheets, just some bells and whistles added based on customer feedback,.

thats it for now,
