Branden and Robin!Mark, that's exactly why we're investing literally hundreds -- after all is said and done -- of hours to this project. We'd like to make sure that it doesn't happen to anyone ever again. Obviously, we can't do it on our own, but we can do our best to help!

You and me both. I'm a bit concerned since I just put in new injectors.

It’s great that you have designed this analyzer. Technology is so cool! It’s a step in the right direction for finding out what we attempted 2 years ago with Dennis’s engine failure survey. We would like to add, if all parties are willing, any of our chips questioned for accuracy to also be tested with our Engine Analysis Equipment. This will give 2 data points, one mathematical and one physical analysis. At that time we can compare the processes to make sure we are testing the same data points to obtain the data accurately.
We feel by offering our test equipment to the research it will complement the analyzer data due to the analyzer only seeing what points are inputted and the EA equipment pulling data that is induced.
We hope that this will encourage other companies that use special testing equipment to create and test their programming to also join in this analysis.

to get there and only rolled 399.9 a couple years ago. I went with conservative tunes and my tuner just about nailed it. I've not really done anything with it since then.
On a serious note I am glad you folks are working on this project. I get sick of the bashing and look forward to some productive info other than nod, wink and insider BS I see around.

Well I won't be filling out the survey but I set out to make 400hp on my truck with a 38R and Swamps hybrids. My engine failed..........

Thank you Brother Mike. But my chip is still tuned for when I had the 175/146 singles and the stock turbo. Thats why I would like to get updated tunes maybe to his current tuning for our set up. I will still get you a beer and yes I know what brand.

How did you like the 175/146 stick on the stock turbo and how was it modded?
