For the GroupMe. If all you guys have the app, I can disable the Text Message notification and messages will only come to the app.

Also, you can also chat online at groupme.com. Let me know what you guys think.

We all settled down... my phone is officially at 65% after 3 hours off the charger. Great. Hahaha

Any of you have experience with Meth kits? I bought a used BMS trunk mount one and am a little nervous with the install. Any tips?

Cmaddox335 · 05-16-2013, 09:32 PM

I just looked at the kit again, it's too intimidating for me to do alone lol! Would anyone be willing to give me a hand with the install? I have all the required tools, or I can go to your place. I can pay for your help too, I just want to be there to learn how to.

Nope, not running meth yet. However, I'm willing to help and learn with you.

Cmaddox335 · 05-16-2013, 11:21 PM

Sounds good, are you free tomorrow night or Sunday? I have a wedding on Saturday to go to.

Shon · 05-16-2013, 11:23 PM

3 codes again with JB4 disabled and on regular octane

3100 - Low boost mode engaged - CEL displayed
30FF - Possible boost leak
2A87 - Outlet-Vanos variable cam control test, mechanics.

Dropped it to stealership, rocking a Chevy Impala lol

///ADMAN · 05-17-2013, 01:18 AM

Sorry to here that, Shon. 30FF is the same one I was getting. Very common with JB4_ISO at low speed with AC running. Need to upgrade to 18.HEX or higher. The others sound non-JB4 related. Were you getting these before E85 too? I don't recall...

Well, in my world...

I just got a beta 20.HEX from Terry along with a custom setting for DCT and fixed boost settings for MAP6. I loaded the new 5/13/13//2 interface today and ran some logs for him. The custom UserB setting for DCT was crap.

I disabled it after only one run. The fixed boost settings for MAP6 were pretty impressive - up to 120mph. After that, it was a little flat. Terry said he could improve that, but it might throw another code lower down. So, I may just stick with MAP5, even though the boost is a little more "conservative" than I'd like. Oh, well...

Let me know what the stealership says. Maybe it's just a leaking ring or something.
