Man, this thread better not turn into a tuner war.

Got the CF all done today, but not 100% happy with the center console. Will either redo it or paint it matte black, but it is ok for right now. Have to get more CF to re-do it anyway. All the other panels can out great though. I will get some pictures tomorrow. The trim across the dash looks good since the top of the dash is dark. The trim on the doors is a real big contrast though but I think it looks really good. I will get some pictures tomorrow though. Just as a reminder I have the Grey Dakota interior.

Glad you got the trim done. I so want to throw up the thread is worthless smile but since you told us twice that you will post up pics tomorrow, i wont.


Ben, I could totally hear the excitment in your voice on the phone. So awesome to hear you like the flash. No codes, extra power...not much else to ask for. Nice!!

No problem. Would rather you have gotten it back than it just disappear somewhere.

I betcha b/c he put race gas in he turned the user tq setting too high thinking the race gas would overcome the throttle plate lockup due to lack of breathing ....that would be a pretty good explanation for the wavy line (as Ive seen lots of dynos with damn near flat curves)

but without asking the guy, I guess I cant know for sure

so many people on here I feel like dont read all the details of what they buy lol...I totally dont know who it was w.the 100oct and procede w/canbus...but there seem to be a lot of people on here trying to move up on the stages, or bump the user tq settings b/c of octane....and it only goes so far (you prob saw the damage on the dyno lol)...

ive got mine set to 90% user tq with full stage 1 mods...car runs like a champ, oil cooler barely ever even kicks in...but if you bump that to 97% or 100% with 100oct, and dont have the exhaust mods etc...its goin to be a hella shitty ride lol...everyone wants cheap power...gosh...gotta do it right!!

im hoping that flash looks good on your cars and runs em smooth, thats real important and it has to be nice to the engine temps (something dinan battled with for a while on their tune). i'll be curious to see dynos/further updates from those guys.

as for an example of a solid looking dyno on a procede canbus, jpsimons car really lit it up on pump gas:

yeah that looks a hella lot more smooth than what this guy was running today.

looks like they still have smoothing at like 5-6, i'd be interested to see what it looks like on at 3 (where we had it set today.
