check out the new thread over at TDS, FOMOGO did a few tests with jody tipton comparing both the blue and black. After the testing he stated he left with the black cps in his truck. He compared the two in idle efficiency, cyclinder pressure, combustion duration, and torque at idle per cyclinder. An overall graph showed the original stock black cps to have a cleaner curve than the blue cps, with a nicer rise, fall and peak. FOMOGO also states the blue cps has a rise sooner, but a divot in the top of the curve, and then falls off sooner.
To me its a freakin cps. I have the black one in my truck.

I get the feeling we are going to see a lot of these for sell on fleabay as the rumors spread. I dont see dieselpowerproducts pushing them like they used to. I know Dave hangs at tds a lot.

There sure does seem to be a lot of "blue cps" talk. Well maybe it's not really that much. It kind of seem to only be 2 or 3 pages repeated over and over. Someone says "I love it, better fuel mileage, smoother truck". Then the next person says "NO thats all B.S.". Shortly after that someone says " I don't know it seems to be just like the stock one".
WOW 399 posts saying pretty much that. LOL
I say we all wait a while for everyone that has them to run them for some time. Then let them come back here and tell us yea or nea.

WOW! I missed 3 days and look at all this!
I have a Blue in the truck, and a black in the G-box. The timing of the injection is NOT Advanced, I'll lose money idling but not going down the road, save my starter and maybe be able to leave it running at drivethrus. Pulling heavy low RPM's I would expect higher EGTs and less boost. All-in-all, seems like minimal trade-offs since the most I would tow is 2k#. At somepoint the Black will go back in I'm sure, but it will be a while.
This forum is a great place.
And Kwik, you do amaze me. Even when you were wrong you were right!
