I would like one, they sound really awesome. I'd like to unstack my chips and be able to just run one. right now i have the edge with attitude monitor, and its stacked with a hypertech programmer... it hauls ***, but the damn petal is so touchy. oh, and NO SMOKE AT ALL...

well i think that thread was a little exadurated but it is mainly just the stock tune and it is basicly at idle, it will quiver and rattle to death at idle but as soon as you get over idle it is just as smooth as stock.
i am not positive but i think its whare its getting so much fuel at idle it shakes and rattles and sounds kinda like it has a knock but not really as bad as that thread led it to be?

Here are the settings I chose: 1 stock 2 daily 3 lt. tow 4 hi idle 5 street 6 extreme. Give me as much feedback as you can! I'm @ the hands of anticipation!!!!

buddy this thread was a baddddd idea!!!!!!!!!- nobody is gona talk bad about anything except how much more smoke and power it gives you!!!!!!! and that just makes the wait longer-lol
but when you are putting it in, just make sure you dont over clean your pcm!
what i did is take the little piece of scotch pad and soak it in rubbing alcohol and just rub it off.
with the obs you cant really see when the edges are kinda bare since you dont pull the pcm on the obs's but you can pretty much feel when its clean so you souldnt have much trouble though.
i have had mine since around july 6 or so and every time i start mine i cant stop grinning!!!!!!!!!!!

I cleaned the port on my PCM for my Big Hoss module. It's pretty clean, considering I had to do it twice! The 1st time I actually didn't clean it enough! When I had gotten the Big Hoss module, I was afraid of overcleaning it. When I installed the module, I was getting all sorts of DTCs from the Six-Gun tuner & only getting 17-18psi for boost. After 2 days of not getting the power I had expected, I traced my problem back to the Big Hoss module. I pulled it out, cleaned it with the Scotch-Brite pad I still had from the Banks box, & gave it a decent once-over. When I put the module back in, it was a day-&-night difference!

if you overclean the contacts its very bad.... you will either need to get a new PCM or find an electronics repair place that can solder on pc boards and have them retint the connections

567hp and no smoke at all?

80hp injectors + GTP38r + Juice w/Attitude + Hypertech != 567hp

Maybe 367hp....
