Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got my DP Tuner in, along with my Isspro gauges. Boost around 22 almost floored,pyro hit 1200, trans 150/160ish. Tried to put in BTS VB but got confused with the metal plate that comes with it. Stayed with stock vb. Instantly was able to notice difference with DP in 80 econ. I got on the freeway and was doing 90 by the time I looked at the speedo. I always questioned, will the DP really do as much as everyone says?, the answer is YES. Although did notice a little roughness in park at abou 1200rpm, in all settings. Sadly on the way home there was three Highway Patrol on the freeway so I could not play.

Did you get the chip tuned for the VB? If you did, I would work on getting it in. Jody tuned your shift points for that VB and it may tear something up if you aren't running it and the chip is tuned for it.

Glad to hear that you like it. People just don't know until they try it.

I tore the crap out of a Hemi a while before I left to come over here. It was really funny too. It was a younger kid and he asked what I had under the hood. I just pointed at the "7.3L PowerStroke Diesel" stickers I have on my hood and laughed. He said, yeah, but that's not stock or something like that. I just laughed and layed a big soot cloud after the light turned...

But you do need to get your software tweaked to match the VB -- it makes a big difference!

Can't wait to get mine ordered, but I am not going to order mine until I get the gauges installed and the BTS valvebody. If I order it now I would be to tempted to put it in and play. I did start cleang out my shop this weekend so I can get the truck in there and get these things started. Soon

I was reading thru this post and thinkin' the same thing. I noticed that Jody and Diane updated their website to include a boatload of new tunes. Dang it.

Just like that first VCR I bought, barely figured it out until something newer and better came along. Just can't make me happy.
