Right, but with a turbo system that is designed around 5psi suddenly has one of it's boost control devices ripped out, forcing it to run basically at 100% duty cycle, you don't get the oem boost curve. a 1 psi fluctuation turns into a 3-4 psi fluctuation when you're running more boost. My JBX at 25% setup would spike to 14ish, come down to 12 and bleed off to 9-10psi at redline.

If you ever head over to Atlanta, just drop me a note. If I am heading out I-20, I will do the same.

I will and thanks. You have PM.

Are there torque settings you can adjust with V3? Or just fixed maps?

As far as performance in a straight line, how would you compare with JBX? Will it run side by side with a JBX at 25%, 50%, 100% or will it require R turned on to match V3?

Yes, the UT value can be adjusted and even taylored to give you the curve you want. And, they response to the changes are imediate.

Comparisons will need to wait. But I would anticipate the power, at default settings, will be similar to the R switch.

I haven't dyno'd it and I haven't raced my own car. Sorry. Feels way faster, but ass dynos lie. JBX can only be set to 25% before it starts pulling timing on our crappy 91 octane gas. R switch couldn't be turned without race gas.

That said, I would put money on the v3 car vs the JBX on 91 octane... but as I said, it's not all about peak numbers, you'll get a much broader powerband with the v3 with less fall off at the upper rpms, and less hesitation on a 2-3 and 3-4 shift.
