Which tune produces more power - JB4 or Procede?
With all things being equal ( DP, intake, exhaust, FMIC, gas, transmission.... ), which tune produces more power? Don't mean to start a war here, but I'm in the process of deciding which tune I should get.

They should be the same. But from what I have read, people have been having some problems with proceed so I would go with the JB4 only because it's such a popular tune for our cars.
Ive had the JB4 for 5 months now and still no issues. I just installed it and forgot about it....lol "Knock on wood"

......and people have had issues with the JB4. I have had the proceed on my car for some time now and have installed it on other cars. Zero issues at all. I think the guys that are having issues with them are probably installing them incorrectly (loose connections, etc. ) |

very similar. JB4 probably has the customer service advantage, but Procede has the #s of sensors and computer power/adjustability because of it as an advantage. JB4 has the cost advantage unless you can find a Procede used as I did. |

All the same. Whichever is local to you is the best way to go. More support.

I love the user tunability of the Procede. I love that I can adjust the IAT safety thresholds and any of the maps I want (for the most part) to make the most power for *my* car that runs on the awesome gas we have in the midwest (94 octane, E85, whatever).
I do *NOT* like the customer service, so far. Thank god Kalud (user on this forum) is so helpful and experienced with the Procede - Vishnu Performance really should pay him, or offer a discount to him or something, he's helped a lot of us when they wouldn't. I've called Vishnu 3 times since owning the unit and have never talked to a live person and have never received return phone call. When I ordered the unit, I asked if it was in stock first, Robert was very quick and responding to my PM's *until* I sent my money. Then it took days to respond only to find out they didn't have parts in stock. It's a great product, and if it weren't for the possibility of a procede control big single for the N55 looming in the distant future, I might have gone JB4. Especially since they are putting out the E85 maps soon and God knows if us Proceders will ever get support. Last edited by boostd92; 06-16-2012 at 10:42 AM.. |
