This is pretty cool to have as a free option though. I mean if your a street racer, why not just use the high boost map all the time, its not like your on 14-15psi all the time, just when your WOT. So basically you can use your foot as a map switcher. I think the map swtiching has more to do with people specific needs and wants for there car. Most of the maps utilize a high power verison of 1.1(1.1 , lagix 1.1, 1.1 hot, race map and such) So why drive around on valet map if your gonna race+ it would have to adapt right? P.s. Can't you just use the 3 way map switcher for on the fly map swtiching, run it inside the car? (3-modes= valet, map switch via pedal pre-set to user input, race map) |

Regardless of "on-the-fly" map switching if you are going to race someone when you change to whatever map you want to change to you are going to have to make pulls to allow your car to adjust to that map. Whether its the V3 and its map switching or the Juicebox and its map switching.

You don't have any idea of selecting maps. Do NOT select race gas map if you suddenly wanna race. You select it only after filling in race gas.

Plua anyone that is going to race needs to fill it up with race gas and then do 2 or 3 pulls to let it adapt so on the fly really isnt needed. If you want on the fly you can get the Rix's gauage or the new Jb3 gauge that will be on sale soon.

In all my testing on street/track, I never switch maps unless I am at the track on higher octane. And at that point, I can't think of any case where I would need to do it "on the fly." I don't think I would ever use a valet mode either. And if i am going to let someone else borrow the car (which I won't), I think I can take 10 seconds to switch maps.

I always laugh when I see Valet mode. Regardless of tuner.
Like switching to VALET mode is going to limp the car and reduce the top speed to 30 mph. Valet (or wife): "Awww man. I was going to smash on this car cause I thought it had 400whp. But it only has 300. So thats no fun." |

Some people cant drive high powered cars. Let alone one that makes 350lbs torq at 2500rpm. Whenever I have a female in my car and i hit 3k rpm they freak out... image how they would react when driving... probably wouldnt turn out to be a good scene. |

And yep, that was always my problem with "valet" modes. A 300hp car with a 130-155mph top speed doesn't seem very valet friendly to me. -shiv |

like they said regardless if you can switch maps on the fly or have to turn off the car you will have to do a couple runs to let the computer adjust..
So if you see some one coming up and you want to race you cant just flip to race mode and go. |
