I'm kind of leaning towards the UC instead of the HR. B/c i have a manual, i'm slower than the autos off the line, and the UC seems to fix that problem. and as for the smoke with the UC, if i even put more than a hair of throttle i get a big puff of smoke, and if put like 1/4-1/2 throttle, it's a blinding cloud hehehehe

Oh yeah.. Its even better with the stacks.. I'm hoping to get video this weekend after I get the stacks reset and the covers installed between the box and stacks..
Mine will seriously leave some smoke.. I love it.. I feel theres more smoke than what I had with my regular 4" exhaust out the side :P

People having been talking a lot about the high EGT's and the Hybrid file. I think I should get a egt probe going again. That was one thing that was nice on the Edge LCD. I loved having those parameters.

If you want a decent gauge for a fair price the Isspro setup from www.Dieselmanor.com seems like a good deal. I have the Pyro, boost, and trans. Temp in my 04 F250. I like the look and wiring style of the DiPricol Gauges but are about twice the price. I think I will stay with Isspro.

Just got my new tunes this morning. First impressive of the Hybrid Race is that it is sweet. Great shifting and feels good in the throttle. Only got to spend about 30 min behind the wheel in stop and go traffic, so haven't had a good chance to open it up yet. Maybe I will go somewhere farther for lunch today.....
