Sure, I live in Neosho, WI, a little town on Hwy 60 and 67. We took 67 north (65mph) to Hwy 41 north (70 to 75mph) in Lomira to Hwy 45 north in Oshkosh. 45 north (63 to 65 mph) all the way up to Eagle River. I used cruise control the whole way, except when I would get behind someone that couldn't decide what speed they wanted to drive.

What SW are you using to generate those graphs? That's a very cool tool that I've never seen...

For some, the blue CPS works wonders; for others (myself included) it was a waste of money. I bought the newer, revised gray CPS, and it's worked wonders for me. Slightly different design, but it works.

I think I may try the 203* myself seeing as my truck seems to keep things a little too cool.

I may be talking out of my a$$ on this, but I thought you are not supposed to use the blue cps with the dp tuner.

your correct as the blue cps advances timing, and so does DP, so combined, your running too much timing, and that can be bad as some have found out.

Ok now I am confused WTH! I can't use my blue CPS with DP-Tuner F5?

NS F250 I'm cool with the heads-up but now I got to know what's correct.

Maybe someone will chime in on this BLUE CPS ISSUE!

Help me Mr. Wizard or ernesteugene or Kwikkordead or Izzy351 or bdrummonds or strokin_it7.3 or Texas Outlaw or Pocket or kennedyford or amiller93 or
