I went out to the truck and plugged the livewire in while it was running, and it fixed it. Thanks for the support guys!

That's what I have, too. I was concerned about the hybrid race, thinking that the ASE would be a better tune for me, but Matt assured me that the Hybrid was safe; perhaps as safe if not more safe than the ASE.

To paraphrase Matt:

"...the cylinder pressures of the Hybrid Race is equal to if not less than the ASE. As far as saftey of the truck, you are probably better off with the Hybrid, even though the power feels extreme."

Hmm, yea I just figured I would get the hybrid race b/c i've heard a lot of good things about it. Matt also said he was going to change my strategy back to an older one b/c the manuals make a lot more power with the older one.....

I can't wait till my X3 gets here!!! I want to call and see if Matt got it shipped out yesterday or what so I know when it will get here, but I hate to bother him. Lol. I have been following the 3 main threads lately about Spartan tunes and I can't wait till it gets here. Do yall know if the canned tunes are safe for our trucks? If the programmer does infact come with them, I want to try them out if they are safe. If they are not then I will just wait. I swear I am worse than a 5 year old on Christmas every time I buy something for the truck. I gotta have it NOW!!!!

Yes, three canned tunes did come with mine. I loaded the hottest one first, the (street?) performance tune. I'm not sure of the safety aspect of them. I really don't think they would "can" risk, because they would risk their can, if you know what I mean. Read this post for my experience with the X3 in my fist few hours as a HP junkie...

hahahahah that has to be one of the funniest posts i've read. It's funnny to be, b/c I felt the EXACT same way when I first got my livewire. I heard that you get that exact feeling when you go from the canned tune to spartan custom tunes....I can't wait to try mine out...only problem is that it's raining here, so it's gonna be hard to keep from spinning

i know this is a little off topic (i'm bad about this) but i was looking at spartan's website and came across the injectors. Are those the price for EACH injector, or for all 8?
