Thankyou for the input on the 140's. If you do the VB, you will have to get a reburn from Jody, just wnat to repoint that out. WW... anybody really, whatever's cheapest... xtremediesel.com has nice cheap ones. The OBA will prevent an overboost defueling situation

It just limits the amount of fuel you can get... Kinda like running in the 140 tune and the chip being automatically switched to stock.

I was under the impression that the DP-tuner took care of the overboost defueling problem

Will actually add to the problem because of higher boost numbers...

I would leave the OBA off till you get gauges because from what I noticed it will keep your EGTs down until you get some montioring going on .

I was told by both Diane (W/ DP Tuner) and Dennis (At ITP Diesel) that a re-burn wasnt needed with the John Woods VB. Something about JW and DP working close together.

conman3300,
I got my JW from ITP, installed it, and love it.

Depending on how old or cool the asphalt is (tackyness), in 140 I could roll off a stop with light pedal then step on it at about 20mph and break traction in the rear. The VB sure does make a difference when it comes to getting that power to the ground. No more questioning a complete shift either.

Like Scarecrow said on roads freshly paved or a road that is just a few years old it is hard to break lose on do to the new materials put into them. Also old roads when it gets warm the AC tends to be a little softer and sticka little better.
